How do I grade group assignments in SpeedGrader?

Before you can evaluate group work, you will need to  create a group assignment . Students can submit Google documents, pages, and other group work as an assignment. 

 Note:  Students should be assigned to groups before group assignments are published. Grades and submissions may be affected for students who were not in a group at the time of assignment submission but who were later added to a group or students who were removed from a group. 

 Open SpeedGrader 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Open SpeedGrader  from the group assignment. 

 View Group Submissions 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 When evaluating group assignments, the SpeedGrader drop-down menu displays the name of each group. Select the name of the group whose submission you want to view. 

 Grade Submission 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 To submit a grade for all members of the group, enter the grade in the  Grade  field [1]. 

 If a Rubric is attached to the assignment, you can  view the rubric  by clicking the  View Rubric  button [2]. If your rubric is set up for grading, the Grade field will automatically populate with the rubric grade results. 

 Send Group Feedback 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 You can  leave feedback comments  using the Assignment Comments section [1]. Comments made on group assignments that are not graded individually are sent to the whole group [2]. Assignment comments display as a new thread in  Conversations . 

 View Group Submission with Individual Grading 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 If the group assignment was set up to assign grades to each student individually, the submission will still apply for each group member's assignment, but the drop-down menu displays the name of each individual student [1]. 

 When grading the submission [2], the entered grade will only apply for the student whose submission you are viewing.   

 Individually graded group assignments include commenting options. To send your comment to one student in a group, select  Send comment to this student only  [3]. To send your comment to the whole group, select  Send comment to the whole group  [4]. Then, click the  Submit  button [5]. 

 Individual comments also appear in the  Submission Comments filter  in Conversations.
