The Assignment tool allows instructors to grade assignments and leave feedback, available on the Assignment evaluation page in the Evaluation panel. Use the Evaluation panel to grade and provide comments on submissions. On-paper submissions and observed in-person assignments display only the Evaluation panel, as no submissions are made in Brightspace.
Assignments can also be evaluated using the Quick Eval tool.

- On the Course Homepage, click on Activities, then click Assignments.
- On the Assignments page, click the drop-down arrow next to the assignment to grade and click View Submissions.
- From the Users tab, click Go to Evaluation for the student submission to evaluate.
- On the right-hand side you will see the feedback panel. This panel is where feedback and grade information can be provided. Evaluation tools include:
