First round of grading this semester? Here are some Canvas tips and tricks to make the process easier:
- Sort assignments in Speedgrader by submission status to begin grading submitted assignments
- Contact all students with missing assignments through the Gradebook>Assignment>Message Students Who: Haven’t Submitted Yet
- Use the highly customizable rubric feature to quantify and organize the grading process while in Speedgrader
- Select whether to measure grades through points or point range
- Select “use for assignment grading” to have the rubric automatically generate the final assignment grade
- Decide if you’d like to write free form comments, hide score totals, or remove points from the rubric all together
- Use the voice recognition feature in Speedgrader to quickly turn your verbal feedback into notes (this voice recognition actually works!)
- This feature is only available in Chrome, which is our preferred Canvas browser regardless 😉
