When you create an assignment, a grade column is created automatically in the Grade Center. This makes reviewing and grading assignment submissions in the Grade Center easy to do. Assignments that have been submitted, but not graded, are indicated with a yellow exclamation mark.
Depending on your grading style, you can access and grade each assignment individually, view all submissions for one assignment, or view all of the assignments with submissions that need grading.

- On the Control Panel, expand the Grade Center section, and click “Needs Grading”.

- Enter a grade and feedback, then click Submit.
To grade an assignment attempt from the Full Grade Center:
