To access the Grading page, use either of the following two methods
- Go to Grades and select Grade Assignments from drop-down menu.
- On the Submissions to Grade panel, click on the Grade Now button.
In the Grading area, you can review the grading needs for past, present, and future assignments, as well as unassigned items. The Grading tools are designed to make more efficient use of the time you have to grade student work.
If you have an especially busy schedule, you may find the Spotcheck feature useful. It allows you to select a portion of the students from the roster to grade per assignment. Remaining student assignment submissions may be “quick graded.”
If you are teaching an online course, you may devote more time to grading. The question-by-question or student-by-student grading options may be better options because they allow you to review and individually grade each student response.
