How to Grade a Project :
Grading
- Find the Google Assignment in Course site and Open the Assignment
- Google Assignments should open in a new tab or window in your browser
Optional: You can change the total number of points for the assignment for all students, and enter the number grade in the “Grade” field in the upper right-hand corner. While it defaults to /100, you can customize the denominator of your grade. The recommendation is to leave at the 100-point default.
Select an individual submission
Please note: When students submit work using Google Assignments, a copy is stored in their drive of that original copy. When the professor grades and returns work, a back-up copy is stored in the professor's drive with those updates and changes preserved in the Google Assignments subfolder on that drive. Do not open or work from the backup files, this will cause synching issues. Only open Google assignments from the link in the course site.
Overall Feedback
On right-hand side, you can add your total grade, overall feedback, and return the assignment to your individual student one at a time. To leave overall feedback for an assignment, enter text in the lower right-hand nav.
Returning assignments
You can return assignments one by one (using the return button on the upper right-hand corner or in bulk (using the Return button on the assignments page in your Coursesite after selecting the students whose assignment you'd like to return).
| Returning one-by-one | |
| Returning multiple assignments by selecting all of the files you’d like to return at once | |
Once an assignment has been returned:
The grade you entered in Google Assignments should be sent to your Coursesite gradebook.
Note: Grades will only flow from Google Assignments to your Coursesite. If you update in Coursesite later -- Google Assignments will not be changed and can no longer be synced.
An archival copy of the assignment (in the state it was in at the point of return, with all comments and grades) will be automatically created and stored in a “Google Assignments” folder in your Drive.
- Please do not edit or grade student work from your Google Drive. This will cause synching issues.
Students will get an email, notifying them that their assignment has been graded, with a link to open up their graded assignment and view the comments.
Students can then engage in a dialog with you in this overall feedback field (as well as in the individual comments).
Students can then edit and re-submit as many times as allowed.
