Review and grade Link to “Review and grade”
Open the submissions for the assignment, filter by status and open a learner's work. Enter a score out of the assignment's points and written feedback, then choose:
- Save draft: keep the grade private for now.
- Release grade: the learner sees the score and feedback.
- Return for revision: send it back. A returned attempt doesn't count against the attempt limit, and earlier attempts are kept.
Grades and completion Link to “Grades and completion”
An assignment counts toward completion once its grade is released and meets the course pass mark. Instructors grade in the courses they teach; administrators can grade anywhere.
