Grading group assignments

Assigning the same grade for the entire group

For an overview of all types of group activities, please visit the Overview page.

Instructors can view a group's progress and discussions by visiting the group's Home page. There are several ways to do this. We are only providing one way in this document. Go to People and choose the name of the group set. Using the 3 dots to the right of the group's name, choose Visit Group Homepage.

Grading of group assignments will take place in the Speedgrader. If the assignment is set to assign the same score to every student, instead of seeing individual student names in the drop-down, you will instead see group names. Select the group name to review the assignment, the associated rubric, or enter grades and comments for everyone in the group at the same time.

Assigning the different grades to individual students

If the assignment was set to Assign Grades to Each Student Individually or if this is a group Discussion, you will see each student listed individually in the Speedgrader and have to manually enter grades for each student as you do for other assignments. However, when grading assignments, you will have the option to send comments to this student only or send comments to the whole group.
