Grading Tests Anonymously

Once students have submitted their tests, you are able to grade their submissions anonymously. You can access students' submissions via the Needs Grading Page or the Full Grade Center.

On the Course Management Menu, scroll down and expand the Grade Center section.
Select Needs Grading.
On the Needs Grading Page, locate the test submission and click on the Action Link.
