Proposition for "Overdue Assignments"

[ky28059]

Essentially, Schoology provides no way to fetch their version of which assignments are considered overdue or not. For overdue assignments then, there are 2 choices:

1. Do not offer to support overdue assignments; either say something like "use Schoology for overdue assignments" or make no mention of overdues at all.
2. Implement our own overdue system separate from Schoology.

If option 2 is preferred, the system would look something like this:

• All assignments due before the current date and not marked as completed are considered "overdue".
• When a user enables Schoology for the first time, all assignments due before the current date are automatically marked as completed (this is to prevent all assignments due before the current date suddenly showing up as overdue).

While a custom system would solve the overdue problem, users may not want to have to manually mark each assignment as completed on WATT to get it out of the overdue area (assumedly in Dashboard or Upcoming). Though it would be incredibly hard to do so because of Schoology's API limitations, users may expect that when they complete something on Schoology it would automatically be reflected in WATT. I think in general I favor option 1 and making no mention of supporting overdue assignments, but despite the potential cons I am of the opinion that option 2's implementation isn't too terrible.

Thoughts?

@ky28059 there is technically a way to fetch overdue assignments, though slightly costly. SGY counts overdue assignments as assignments with no submissions, no grades, and are overdue. You could fetch submissions and grades and compare though it may cost extra reqs
