If user says "quick check" or "just the highlights":

• 2 peer reviews pending
• Grades: CS 101 (87%), MATH 221 (92%), ENG 101 (85%)

Notes

• Best used at the start of each week (Sunday/Monday)

• Assignments are sorted by due date, then by point value

• Late/missing assignments are highlighted for attention

• Works with the student tools: get_my_* prefix functions

• No privacy concerns since students only access their own data
