Provide grades and feedback with quick grading

Provide grades and feedback with quick grading

Why use it?

Quick grading allows marks and feedback to be entered directly into the submissions table. This can be useful to make changes to marks, for example, after moderation or to apply late penalties etc.

Step 1: Add an Assignment

See Assignment set-up guide (individual and group) for the settings.

Step 2: Students submit

Step 3: View the submissions table

Once the deadline for students to submit has passed, click on the assignment. This will bring up the Grading summary which will show the number of participants and submissions. Click on Submissions above the grading summary to view the submissions table.

The marking/submissions table lists all students and their submissions. If ‘anonymous submissions’ is enabled, submissions are identified by a participant number unique to this assignment.

N.B. Those with a Manager role can view student identities even when blind marking is enabled.

The table has a variety of filters and columns - see more details on the Submissions table .

Step 4: Enable quick grading

Above the submissions table, tick quick grading

Step 6: Release marks

Marking workflow state

Marking workflow is enabled by default. To release the marks using the marking workflow, see below.

When you are ready to release marks to students, go to the submissions table. Select the submissions for which you want to change the state of the marking workflow using the Select box to the left of each submission – to select all submissions, click the Select all box under Select.

At the bottom of the page, additional actions will appear on the sticky footer. Click the “More” button on the menu to reveal Change marking state and select this option. A pop-up window will appear, confirm the option to “change marking state”.

Setting the marking workflow state to Released

Students will then be able to review their grades and feedback.

NOTE: If ‘anonymous submissions’ is in use with marking workflow, you will need to reveal student identities before the grades are released. To do this, select Reveal student identities in the Grading action drop-down menu at the top of the submissions table. If you cannot find this option, you will need to ask someone with Teacher (Editor) or higher access to do it.
