Back to School - Evaluate Assignments from Gradebook

When viewing the gradebook, you can select the left side of a student's grade field to quickly enter their grade. To get a full view of a student's evaluation for an assignment, select the right side of the grade field to open Evaluate assignment. From here, you can enter a Grade, mark gradebook indicators, add feedback, and evaluate skills if an assignment is associated with a rubric. To take a closer look at a student's assignment, including any online file submissions, select Go to student's assignment.

You can add grades, comments, and gradebook indicators, such as Late or Exempt, to an assignment for multiple students at once using Bulk actions.

  1. In the gradebook, expand the down arrow for the assignment and select Bulk actions.

  2. Select Add bulk evaluation to enter a Grade or mark gradebook indicators. Select Add bulk comment to enter a comment.

  3. Select the students you want to apply the bulk action to and select Save.

Note: Any existing Grade, Indicators, or Comments entered for a student display in the student grid. Applying the bulk actions to a student will overwrite the previously entered information.

You need to commit grades, skill ratings, and comments to your gradebook in order for students and parents to see them. This means you can have uncommitted grades and comments in your gradebook that you can edit without students seeing those changes.

From the gradebook, you will see the total number of grades that are Ready to commit above the list of students. You will also see Commit at the top of assignment columns along with the number of grades that need to be committed for each assignment. Simply select Commit to commit the grades for that assignment. You can also commit grades for all assignments for the selected class and marking period at once by selecting Commit All above the list of students.
