Use Quick Eval for Assessment

Quick Eval lets you see a list of select ungraded student submissions from all your courses. Submissions from Assignments, Quizzes, and Discussions are displayed in one place to improve efficiency evaluating and providing feedback on all student work.

Student work that is displayed:

• Quizzes that need to have at least one question evaluated and are not set to be graded immediately
• Discussions that have an associated grade item
• Assignments that have an associated grade item

Student work that is NOT displayed:

• Group discussions
• Group assignments
• Quizzes that need evaluating (such as having a WR type question) but are set to be graded immediately
• Items that have a rubric associated but do not have a grade item associated
• Items from inactive courses
• Items from courses with an End Date in the past
