Progress App Overview

The Progress app on CodeHS gives an overview of students' progress in all of your sections, including coding activities, assignments and quizzes. You can use these tools to get a birds-eye view of student progress or zoom in on modules, lessons, and more!

You can access the Progress app by clicking on Progress under the Grading category in the lefthand navigation menu:

The Progress app features three tools, which can be accessed by the tabs at the top of the page: Assignment, Lesson, and Module

Viewing Assignment Progress

The Assignment tool is the main page for the Progress app. Here, you'll find an overview of students' progress for each assignment in a module.

There are two dropdown menus at the top left of the page where you can switch between different sections and modules to view progress for:

You can configure what type of assignments you'd like to view progress for by clicking on the Configure button; by default, progress for all types of assignments will be displayed:

Understanding Student Progress Status

Student's assignment progress is shown using our color-coded Grading Key for each assignment. The grading key is a simple way to gauge your students submissions and grading status for assignments:

  • Finalized / Teal: the student’s grade for the assignment has been graded and finalized

  • Submitted After Review / Dark Magenta: the student resubmitted the assignment after it was reviewed by the teacher

  • Reviewed / Pink: the student's assignment has been submitted, reviewed by the teacher, but isn't fully correct and was sent back to the student with the status message Needs Work

  • Submitted / Green: the assignment was successfully submitted and either passed the test cases (if Autograded) or is ready for review by the teacher

  • Not Submitted / Yellow: the assignment was opened or started but not submitted

  • Unopened / Grey: students have not opened this assignment.

  • White Circle with Blue Border: the assignment that the student is currently working on, or last worked on.

Viewing Lesson Progress

The Lesson tool allows you to view progress by status or percentage for each Lesson.

  • View Lesson Progress by percentage complete by clicking Percent.

  • To view Lesson Progress by status, click on Status.

Viewing Module Progress

The Module tool provides a bird's eye view of overall course progress, and displays progress for each module as a percentage:

Exporting Data

You can export progress data to Excel or CSV file formats. Each tool has an Export button that allows you to choose which file format you'd like to export the data to:
