SpeedGrader can be an efficient and powerful tool for viewing, annotating, commenting and grading student work. But a few tweaks can fine tune it for faster instructor performance!
Canvas automatically generates a running total of each student's current grade. However, this only includes assignments that have a grade entered. If no grade is entered, the assignment is not counted in the Total grade calculation, which can lead to students misunderstanding their current grade.
Instructors can view a complete record* of every grade entered and changed by accessing the Gradebook History. The log can be filtered by student, grader, assignment, and date.
Faculty using the Canvas gradebook to record student grades DO NOT need to export and submit grade justifications, as long as it contains ALL grades for the course.
