How do I grade an assignment submission in the Teacher app on my Android device?
You can grade assignment submissions using SpeedGrader in the Teacher app. You can enter an assignment score or use a rubric to grade a submission.
When you are finished grading an assignment for a student, swipe left or right to view other student submissions.
Notes:
- This lesson shows images for a phone display; however, unless otherwise noted, the steps are the same for tablets.
- Multiple users should not grade assignments at the same time since each grader cannot view the most recent information for a submission.
- You cannot upload files to assignment submissions when grading in the Teacher app.
