Review and grade a submission
For the Moon Viewing assignment, review Bruce Lopez's submission and
then:
• Type a grade.
• Type feedback for the student.
Add grade directly into a Grade Center cell
• Be aware that these grades are overrides. For tests and assignments, this results in the
override grade superseding all other attempts, including those not yet submitted
You have reviewed a group's work and want to add their grades. For the
Group Plan, type a grade of 45 for the following students:
• Tony Brown, Ashby Cooper, and Ryan Johnson
