Grading Assignments

Items that need grading are indicated by a yellow circle.

Click the small arrow below the 'Attempt' box to see the Grading Panel.

Note:

There are multiple ways that a student’s submission may be displayed, depending upon the type of submission:

’Submission Text’ is text entered directly into the assignment submission text-box and cannot be annotated.
Uploaded MS Office* or PDF documents will appear in a ‘crocodoc’ viewer and can be annotated.
A download link will appear if students upload a file type different from MS Office or PDF. This file cannot be annotated online.

The following filetypes will be displayed in the crocodoc viewer and can be annotated.

Use the crododoc tools to annotate the student's submission.
Enter the student's grade in the 'Attempt' box.
Download the student's submission to enter your comments offline.
Click 'Add Notes' to enter notes to yourself.
- Notes entered in this area are NOT shown to students.
Click the paperclip to upload and add a link to a feedback file.

Links to feedback files should be entered on separate lines.

Click ‘Submit’ to return the assignment to the student.

Highlight a section of text and then click ‘Comment’ for options.
You can enter comments, draw, highlight text, enter textboxes or strikeout text (see bottom image).
Enter the student’s grade and any comments as in #3, above.
Click ‘Submit’ to return the assignment to the student.

Note: You may notice that entering comments in crocodoc requires a widescreen monitor.
