How do I grade group tasks?

Once you have a task that is assigned to groups and students have completed their work, it's time to grade. The easiest way to grade group tasks is to use the activities tab in the Gradebook.

Enter a course through the gradebook.

Click the activities tab.

Click on the group task.

Select the first group to grade.

1. When entering a score, there's a message that says your edits here apply to all members of this group.
2. You can see which group members are assigned in the lefthand section.
3. Click submission/activity history to see date/time the assignment was submitted and who it was submitted by.
4. Assign this group points for the associated outcomes.
5. When finished click submit score.

Once you have submitted a grade for the group, all students in that group receive the same score.

Once a grade is saved for a group, all students receive the same score. To customize an individual student's score in a group task, navigate back to the gradebook.

Click the students tab.

Click on a student's name to be taken to their individual grades page.

Click on the name of the assignment to bring up the grade editor.

From here, the student's individual grade can be modified. This does not affect the score of other students in the same group set.

NOTE: If edits are made to the overall group's score through the Activities tab in the gradebook, this will override any individual customizations that were previously made.
