Assessing assignments
This guide is about grading assignments with only a grade and general feedback.
To assess assignments, first go to ‘Tools’ and then select ‘Assignments’ in the navigation bar of a course. Here, all assignments are ready. Then click on the specific assignment you want to grade and click on ‘Submissions’. In this example, the submissions for Assignment 1 are displayed.
Click on the submission you want to grade. The following screen will appear:
In this screen, several options are available:
- Assign a grade under ‘Overall Grade’.
- Write general feedback in the HTML box under ‘Overall Feedback’.
- Then, you can choose ‘Publish’ or ‘Save Draft’ in the bottom right corner.
- Click ‘Publish’ if you want the respective student to see the grade and feedback immediately.
- Click ‘Save Draft’ if you want to publish the grades and feedback for all students at once later.
- Using the arrows in the top right corner next to ‘User 1 of 1’, you can navigate to the submissions of other students to view and/or grade them (in this example, there is only 1 student, so you cannot navigate between students).
- Once you have graded all submissions for the respective assignment, you can click ‘Back to Submissions’ to return to the list with an overview of all assignments.
Finally, on the left, you can check all the boxes and then click ‘Publish Feedback’ to display all grades and feedback to the students simultaneously.
