How do I grade an assignment using the legacy grading interface?
This article describes how to grade an assignment using the legacy grading interface. For instructions on grading using the new grading interface, please see How do I grade an assignment? For further information on the two grading interfaces, refer to How do the new and legacy grading interfaces differ?
This article also assumes that the assignment is not graded with a rubric. For specific details on how to grade assignments with a rubric, refer also to either How do I grade an assignment using a rubric in the legacy grading interface? or How do I grade an assignment using a rubric?
For grading peer review assignments, refer instead to the article, How do I grade a peer review assignment? To have teaching assistants grade, refer to How do I enable teaching assistants to grade assignments, tests, and quizzes?
Note that you can also use the grading tools in Turnitin Feedback Studio, or you can grade assignments offline, per the steps described in How do I download assignments for grading offline? and How do I upload graded assignment submissions and feedback?
