Assignment Leaderboard
Some assignments may include an optional leaderboard feature that displays student rankings based on assignment scores. The leaderboard adds a competitive element to assignments while maintaining privacy options.Viewing the Leaderboard
If your instructor has enabled the leaderboard for an assignment, you’ll see a “Leaderboard” tab on the assignment page. The leaderboard displays:- Rankings: Your position relative to other students
- Scores: Current assignment scores (may be based on autograder results)
- Anonymity options: Students can choose to appear anonymously or with their name
Privacy and Participation
The leaderboard is designed to be optional and privacy-conscious:- Instructors can enable or disable the leaderboard per assignment
- Students can choose whether to display their name or remain anonymous
- The leaderboard is less prominent in the interface to avoid creating pressure
- Participation in the competitive aspect is entirely voluntary
How Rankings Work
Rankings are typically based on:- Autograder scores
- Submission timing (if configured by instructor)
- Completion status
The leaderboard is meant to be a fun, optional feature. Your grade is not affected by your leaderboard position—it’s purely for those who enjoy a competitive element.
