Grading Student Submissions

How do I grade a submission?

You can learn how to grade student submissions by following the instructions in the video below:

 

Or, you can follow these step-by-step instructions:

  1. In the Gradebook, select an item you want to grade.
    The list of gradable items, with a purple square around 'Assignment 1'.
  2. The submissions list page displays a list of all enrolled students. Clicking on a student’s name will redirect you to the grading page for the selected student. The image below illustrates the grading by students page.
    The students view, where you see each students' submission.
  3. You can also grade tests by individual questions. However, for assignments that do not contain any questions, the “Questions” option at the top is disabled.
    The questions view, where you can grade each individual question from each submission.
  4. Enter a grade into (A) shown in the image below. Entering the grade from the top of the page will be considered as overriding the grade. To add an overall comment, click (B) or (C) to expand the comment tab to write. Comment tab also include Grader Notes where the notes are not shared with students.
    A is the grade area on the right side of the page, and B and C are just underneath A.
  5. If your test or assignment is set to “Post assessment grades automatically”, as soon as you enter a grade, the grade is visible to the student. If you do not set this option, you can post either individually, or to post grades to all.
