Grading Group Journals

Grading Group Journals

When you assign groups in your course, you are able to set up journals for each group. Only members of the group can see the journal assigned to them. You can grade group journals so that every member receives the same grade, or you can grade each member individually, based on their participation. 

To Grade Group Journals:

  1. On the Course Menu, expand the Grade Center section, and click on Needs Grading
  2. On the Needs Grading page, locate the student's journal submission and click on the Action Link.
