Canvas will only recognize an assignment as complete if it is submitted through Canvas to that exact assignment. If an assignment is submitted via paper, email or Inbox, it will show as missing until it is manually marked as otherwise by the teacher.
When I click on an assignment I can see the description but not the entire assignment.
