Mark submissions#

1. Go to Assignment → Submissions (or open the assignment).
2. Each student shows Submitted, Late or Not submitted. Open a submission to view the file or text.
3. Enter marks and feedback, then Accept (or Reject with a reason to request a redo).
4. Marks are shown to the student and parent. If your school counts assignments toward CA, the administrator maps them in the exam set-up.

Tips#

• Give at least two days for homework so parents without daily internet can help.
• Use clear titles with the subject and week: "Mathematics — Week 5 — Fractions worksheet".
• Students who do not have devices can submit on paper; record the mark against Not submitted using Enter mark manually.
