Is there a way to automatically allocate a grade for activity completion?

Hi all

We require our students to submit a document. The document is not marked. There is simply a grade (a low percentage of the course total) that  must automatically be given 100% if the document is uploaded. I was looking to try get the assignment activity to assign a grade for simply completing (i.e., uploading a document) the activity, but could not find a way to do this.

This also feeds into the idea of grades being assigned for completing other activites Eg once a student has viewed a page, they are assigned a mark for having completed the activity (in this case, activity completion set to "student must view").

Thank you in advance.

Interesting point. I can't think of any for the Assignment activity. However, did you think of trying the Quiz? You can use an Essay type question and if the question is answered (upload done or text typed in) then provisional grade is assigned? I did not investigate this, but just throw it out as a possibility.
