Let's use class progress to decide who may need a check-in. Start with your class overview and the participation information shown here.

Open People. Sessions and Last practiced help you spot students with little recent activity. Sam has not practiced yet; that is a reason to check in.

Open Sam's row menu and select View profile. Student Progress shows each assignment, its status, due date, and number of attempts.

Use this detail to distinguish missing work from a submission that is waiting for review. Here, Sam has overdue assignments with no attempts.

Close the profile and open Analytics to look for patterns across the class.

The proficiency section shows where the class stands and how the median changes over time. Estimates need enough evidence; an empty result does not mean a low level.

Scroll to Assignment performance. Compare participation and time across assignments to see where students may be getting stuck.

Open an assignment for its details. Check which students have completed it before deciding whether to support one learner or revisit the activity with the class.

Use these views together: participation tells you who is active, assignment details show what is missing, and proficiency adds context. Then plan a specific check-in or practice opportunity.
