Drop lowest Grade can teacher see which grade(s) are dropped?

Greetings - we are in Moodle 2.3. We use the Moodle gradebook for all of our courses. If a teacher wishes to drop 2 out 5 quizzes when calculating the final grade - is there a way for the teacher to see which quiz is dropped for each student? 

Also if a student did not take a quiz - and the teacher wishes for the missing quiz not to be included (no penalty for the student) - with Aggregate Only Non-empty grades check - leave the field empty for the missed quiz - will that quiz be considered in dropping the lowest grade?  Or will dropping the lowest grade only look at the fields where a grade is added?

Boy, does this get complicated!

Thank you for your help - Nancy K.

There isn't presently a way for one to see which item gets dropped, it is always the item that produces the lowest contribution to the grade for the container (course or category). On the LAE User report the student is advised that the category or course has a drop lowest or keep highest condition. On the disaggregated gradebook (piloting at my school 2014FA) there is a contribution column in the student report which would easily show which grade got dropped. A teacher, of course would be at liberty to view this also.

The missed quiz will not be considered as a drop lowest candidate unless the teacher marks it with a zero.
