Setting up a grading system
Setting up a grading system
Assessments are essential to teaching and learning, and Google Classroom is equipped with features that could help you manage them. You can do this by integrating assessments for online and remote learning, and setting up a grading and feedback system for your class.
The Grades tab of Google Classroom allows seamless integration from your Classwork content into your Grades. If a material has a grading scheme attached to it, you no longer have to add it to the Grades tab! Google Classroom will automatically add the material to the Grades. All you have to do is to provide the grades to your students’ work.
Make sure to check the materials listed under the Grades tab in order to ensure that all graded materials are well accounted for. If there are materials that are supposed to be graded but do not appear in this list, check the material if there is a grading scheme attached to it.
Setting up Categories and Items
Setting up Categories and Items
You can set up grading categories that will help you further articulate what each material is meant to be, allowing you to set up the overall grading scheme for your class. This can be useful if you will be using weighted grading systems, where a specific grading category will have a different weight compared to other grading categories. Here’s how to set it up:
From your Class, press the Settings button. A popup will appear.
To create a grading category, scroll down to the bottom of the page. You should see a header titled Grading.
Press the Add grade category button under the Grade categories subheading. A new option will appear.
Selecting No overall grade or the Total Points option under Overall grade calculation will allow you to provide a specific number for the points of a grade item you created.
If you select the Percentage option, you will be asked to identify how many percentage points will be allocated for this grade item.
Once you’ve encoded all of the necessary information, the grade items you created can then be used to categorize materials!
Entering grades
Entering grades
Entering grades can easily be done by going to the Grades tab and assigning grades to each material. Google Classroom organizes materials by displaying a list on the topmost row, while the leftmost column displays all of the students enrolled in the class.
To enter the grades of your students, click on each item on their row and provide a numerical value of their grade. Once you’ve given a specific numerical value grade to your student, press Return to send the grade to the student.
You can opt to provide feedback to your student by attaching a private comment. Specific feedback will help your students identify why they received the grade you provided. Your feedback will help them improve their performance in the future.
Once you’ve pressed Return, the student will then see the grade they received and the private comment attached to it. The student can also reply to your private comment, allowing them to start a conversation about the grade they received.
