Grading Status

The Grading Status view shows how far along handgrading is for an assignment: how many submissions have been graded, who’s assigned to what, where the bottlenecks are, and which reviews are still pending release. There is a per-assignment view (on the assignment’s management page) and a course-wide view (in the course navigation). Both are available to instructors and head TAs.

​
What it shows

  • Submissions: total, graded, in-progress, pending.
  • Progress bar: percentage of reviews complete.
  • Grader workload: per-grader assigned / completed / pending counts, with overdue reviews flagged.
  • Average time per submission for each grader.
  • Due dates for grading tasks; the course-wide view also shows each assignment’s release status and due date.

​
Review states

A submission review is in one of four states:
  • Not started — no rubric items have been graded.
  • In progress — some required checks applied; review not complete.
  • Completed — all required checks applied. Not yet visible to the student.
  • Released — the instructor has released the review to the student.
Completing a review does not release it. Releasing is a separate step performed by an instructor; see Handgrading.

​
Actions

From a row in the dashboard you can:
  • Click an assignment or submission to jump to the grading interface.
  • Click a grader to see only their assignments and reassign work.
  • Send a reminder to graders with pending work.
  • Adjust review due dates — bulk or per student. See Assigning Grading Tasks.
For bulk completion, release, and unrelease across all selected submissions, see Bulk Actions.

​
Filtering

Filter the view to focus on what matters:
  • Pending grading tasks only.
  • A specific grader, section, or instructor group.
  • By assignment due date or grading deadline.
  • Sort by progress (least to most complete).

​
Best practices

  • Distribute submissions evenly using bulk assignment. The dashboard surfaces overloaded graders.
  • Check the dashboard a few times during each grading window so bottlenecks don’t slip past the release deadline.
  • Spot-check a sample of each grader’s work — the dashboard makes outliers (very fast or very slow grading) easy to find.
