Review and grade homework

What you end up with

The student sees a clear result and knows whether another attempt is expected.

What to do

1. Open what is waiting

   The Needs review view lists submitted work. Open an assignment and choose Review and grade.

2. Read the submission

   Homework review shows the student's text and files, when it was submitted and whether it was late. Earlier attempts stay under the previous submissions.

3. Comment where it matters

   Write a Tutor's comment for the work as a whole, and add file comments against a specific file when the problem is in one place.

4. Give a grade if you use one

   Choose How to review this work: no grade, a 5-point or 10-point scale, or emoji. This applies only to the current review. Accepting in a graded mode requires a grade; returning for revision does not. Select no grade to accept without one.

5. Accept or return

   Accept work closes the assignment; the student cannot resubmit. Return for revision sends it back with your comment and opens a new attempt.

6. Undo if you decided too fast

   Undo acceptance reopens an assignment you accepted by mistake.

Good to know

• Answer-key exercises can check supported answers automatically. You remain responsible for interpreting the work, reviewing it and choosing any grade.
• A returned assignment keeps every earlier attempt, so the student can see what changed. Review history records earlier review decisions; check it before revising a decision.
