How do I grade assessment submissions by student?

Most question types in Tests & Quizzes are automatically graded by the system. However, you will need to manually score short answer/essay questions, file uploads, and audio recordings. You may also adjust the auto-graded scores, add comments, or give partial credit.

For more information and additional options for grading assessments, see the following article: How do I grade Tests & Quizzes?
