Grading Discussions
BEST PRACTICE:
To prohibit students from posting to a Forum or Topic after a deadline has passed, it is recommended to set the Forum or Topic to βVisible with submission restricted after endβ instead of βHidden after endβ it as this will allow students to view existing posts without being able to add new posts.- From the Assessments or Communication menu, select Discussions.
- Select the drop-down menu next to the topic title you wish to grade. Note: To learn more about linking grade items to Discussions in D2L, view Linking to Grade Items.
- Select Assess Topic.
Note: To learn more about associating rubrics to Discussion in D2L, view Associating Rubrics.
- Select Topic Score under each user’s name.
- Enter the Topic Score and Feedback.
NOTE: Discussion threads and replies posted by the user are displayed below the General Feedback area.
- Select Publish to publish the score, or Save Draft to release the score later.
