Delegated Grading

You can assign specific users in your course to grade particular sets of student assignment submissions. Roles with default grading privileges include instructor, teaching assistant, and grader.

The users who help you grade are called delegated graders and they provide provisional grades. Delegated graders follow the same grading steps as instructors, but they can only access assignment attempts assigned to them.

Note

  • At this time, delegated grading supports assignment and test submissions from individual students, as well as anonymous submissions. Group assessments are not yet supported.

  • At this time, delegated grading supports only one group set per assessment. You can assign multiple graders within that group set, but you can’t assign graders across multiple group sets for the same assignment or test.

Why use delegated grading?

For large classes, you can divide up the grading tasks among teaching assistants and other graders. For a merged course, you can assign each grader a class section.
