How do I publish final grades for a moderated assignment?

A moderated assignment supports up to two provisional grades and one moderator grade. However, provisional grades are not included in the Gradebook and are only visible to moderators. Students cannot view any comments or grades until the grade is posted. You can either select grades directly in the Moderate page or you can select grades when reviewing the moderated assignment submission and comments.

Note: Once a grade is published, the grade in the Moderate page cannot be changed; all content is considered read-only for historical reference. However, grades can still be changed in the Gradebook.

View SpeedGrader Submissions

If you want to view a submission by a specific grader in SpeedGrader, click the name of the student.

Note: If the assignment is also anonymous, the anonymized student names link to the submission for that specific student.

Accept All Grades

  Accept All Grades

If an individual student’s submission has only been graded by one grader, you can select all the grades from that grader as final grades by clicking the Accept button [1]. Once selected, the Grade Summary page confirms the grades have been accepted [2].

If a grader grades a submission that has already been graded by another grader, the Accept button for those graders will be grayed out, as one or more submissions have grading conflicts that you must resolve and assign an individual grade.

Notes:

  • Accepting grades for a grader cannot be undone. However, you can change a final grade assigned to a student by assigning a custom grade, if needed.
  • If the Accept button does not display in the page at all, all graders have graded multiple student submissions, and all final grades must be selected individually.

Select Individual Grades

  Select Individual Grades

If a submission has received multiple grades, select the final grade for the student by clicking the Final Grade drop-down menu and selecting the preferred grade.

If you want to enter a custom grade for a student at any time, select the grade in the drop-down menu [1]. In the grade field [2], highlight the existing grade, and then type in the new grade according to the assignment's grading scheme. Click the Enter/Return key on your keyboard.

The previously selected grade from the grader is saved and overrides the custom grade [3].
