If your course includes more than one section, students are displayed according to the section shown in the Gradebook. By default, the Gradebook shows all sections, though you can select a specific section to view.

Viewing an assignment by section only displays submissions for that section and decreases the overall loading time for the assignment's data. When an assignment is opened in SpeedGrader, all values for that assignment are loaded and saved in the browser, including student submission data, any grades (including original grades for resubmitted assignments), rubrics, and comments. To improve performance, assignments in large courses should always be viewed by section.

Notes:

• Viewing by section is only available to instructors; admins cannot filter assignments by section.
• Viewing by section is only available for group assignments if you assign grades to student individually.
• When a section filter is applied in SpeedGrader, the same section filter also displays in the Gradebook.
