So you just got one of our fancy emails telling you that you have an activity ready for grading? Here's how to do it.
Step 1
First, go to your classroom Gradebook and set the filter for the "View" drop-down menu to read "Individual Scores."
All those columns at the top let you filter even more! You can type in a student name or activity name or sort by status.
Step 2
Once you've located the activity that needs grading, just click on the hyperlink/name of the activity. This will open up a new tab where you will see the following:
- The work submitted by the student (in the box below the activity description - it shows up as a link!)
- A rubric for you to use as a guideline when you’re grading
- An answer key that includes answers (where relevant) and other tips for grading
Step 3
Enter a grade into the grading box and click "Submit Grade." Once you do, you'll see a little green checkmark to let you know that you did it right. Don't worry if it still says "Needs Grading"—that'll update when you reload the page!
Step 4
Once you enter a grade, click "Submit Grade," and if you enter a comment, click "Update Comment," which will add the comment to Gradebook for everyone's perusal.
