How do I grade a single submission group assignment?
Instructors that have chosen to allow a single submission for a group assignment can enter a single grade that will apply to all members of the group. Single submission assignments also have a group grade over-ride allowing an instrutor to assign individual grades to members of the group.
Note: You must have groups (created in Site Editor / Manage Groups) to create a single submission group assignment.
Setting Up the single submission assignment:
- In the Add Assignment form, under Access, checkmark "Are Submissions for a group. Selecting this option will allow any member of a group to submit for the entire group. Instructors will be able to assign a single grade to everyone in the group (with an option to override any single grade).
- Assign the access to a specific group OR ALL GROUPS. Note: You must have existing groups in your site in order for the Display to selected groups option to appear.
- Select the group(s).
