How can I assign individual grades for students in group assignments?
Resolution
Before assigning an assignment and/or discussion to a group
, you should create a group set (e.g., Project Groups, Inquiry Groups, Marketing Teams, etc.), create individual groups (Group 1, Team 1, etc.), and add students to each group. You can do this by manually creating a group set and adding groups and students, or creating the group set and groups at the same time. Refer to the following Canvas Guides
How do I add a group set in a course?
How do I manually create groups in a group set?
How do I automatically create groups in a group set?
Once your groups are created, you can then assign an assignment and/or discussion to your groups:
How do I assign an assignment to a course group?
How do I assign a graded discussion to a course group?
Refer to the following guides for grading group assignments and grades in SpeedGrader:
How do I grade group assignments in SpeedGrader?
By default, graded assignments assign the same grade to all students in the group. To grade students in each group individually, you can
enable the option in the group assignment settings
How do I grade a graded discussion in SpeedGrader?
Note that graded group discussions are only graded individually. The group designation determines how and whom students will view and reply to in the discussion
