Grading items manually (e.g., Participation, Attendance)
If you have created any manual grade items, then the easiest way to grade them is through the Single view interface:
From the main page of your course, click Grades on the sidebar. Typically, but not always, this will take you to the Grader report. If it doesn’t, or if you are already in another page of the gradebook, then you can click the Grader report tab near the top of the page.
Within the Grader report, you can enter Single view one of two ways:
If you want to assign grades to all students for a particular item, such as a single Assignment, then find the grade column for that item and click the grey pencil icon in the column header.
If you want to assign grades to one student for multiple grade items, then click the grey pencil icon next to their name.
(Alternatively, you can also simply click the Single view tab to go into the single view editor page, from which you can select either a particular assignment or a specific student.)
You can then enter grades, feedback, etc. on the page, making sure to click [Save] when finished. Note that if the grade box is greyed out and inaccessible, this means typically that you are attempting to grade something that should be graded through its own grading interface (see above).
To enter incomplete grades for discussion forum activities, you will need to go to the Gradebook and the Grader Report tab.
From there, you have two options:
OPTION 1: Enter Grade by Activity
First, click on the pencil icon next to the activity's name (look for the activity along the first row of the Grader Report table).
Second, check the Override box for the corresponding student.
Third, enter the grade in the corresponding text field.
Finally, save your changes.
OPTION 2: Enter Grade by Student
First, click on the pencil icon next to the student's name (left-most column).
Second, check the Override box for the corresponding activity.
Third, enter the grade in the corresponding text field.
Finally, save your changes.
