Marking progress for assignments

This update brings a significant change to the way assignments are marked complete. Now, clicking on an assignment checkbox immediately marks the assignment complete; clicking again changes that to partially complete, and a third click will reset it to unmarked. If you need to mark an assignment as completed on a different day (if, say, your student gets ahead on work), you can click on the calendar icon next to the checkbox (in the planner view, and in the pop-up details on the calendar views). This will bring up the calendar for marking selected dates.
