Viewing Grades and Feedback

Reminder

You can view a larger version of many of the images in this guide by selecting the gray button that appears when hovering over the image.

The Grades Tool

The fastest way to check your grades in a course is to go to the Assessments menu and select Grades. You will see all of the course activities and what your professor has given you for a score. In addition, any feedback they have given you will be displayed there.

If you see a View Inline Feedback link next to any of the items, it means your professor has left you additional feedback in the form of editing marks or margin notes on the file you submitted. You can view them by selecting the View Inline Feedback link.

To see how you are doing in a course, go to the Navbar's Assessments menu and select Grades.

On mobile devices, The Grades tool can be found in the Nav Menu under Assessments.

The Grades tool will show you everything in the course that has been graded so far and any feedback the instructor has left for you. Select a View Inline Feedback link to see additional comments and annotations your instructor has left for you directly on a file you submitted.

The Individual Assessment Tools

Depending on how your professor has set up some activities, there may be additional feedback or information in the individual Assignments, Discussions, and Quizzes/Exams tools under the Assessments menu.
