What does the * mean by an assignment?

Dear Students,
Many students struggle with keeping track of their assignments in online learning. Tools like the Checklist can help. Also, I try to list assignmebnts so that the date before the assignment name is when they should begin, and the date below the assignment is when it is due.

There's one other part of the website design that I use to let students know when an assignmet is graded or a forum is closed. After I grade an assignment, I put an asterix ( * ) in front of it, and I remove the date. That way, students can easily see which work has been graded and which discussions are closed. 

Have a good weekend!
