Old smart music showed how long each student worked on their assignment. It is helpful to know if a student spent 3 hours on an assignment and was only able to get an 80% as their best. It shows me they spent a lot of time and either are struggling or need help learning how to practice.
Please add a note when an assignment gets turned in as to how long each student spent on the assignment.
Yes, please consider incorporating this classic feature into the New SmartMusic. I was part of another thread regarding this and was redirected to this thread. Currently I have to have two screens open with the Practice report/log and the assignment and it is time consuming clicking back and forth for each student on both screens and also trying to determine which minutes were for the assignment at hand.Thank you!
The problem though is enterprising students. Many years ago in the early days, I would have a few kids start "working" on something, and then just leave it running. Smartmusic thinks they are practicing when they are actually down at 7-11 getting a Slurpee. It would be a nice feature, but understand that its not bullet-proof.

Old (Classic) SmartMusic had this feature and it was very useful. But, it was easily defeated by students who would set up a loop and leave their computer running (unattended) for hours. There's got to be a way to program SmartMusic to eliminate those endless loops from being counted. Maybe the loop feature should only be able to be used with the green "play" arrow and not the red "record" button??? Just a thought.
