Submitting Assignments and Finding Grades
There are a number of different types of assignments that you can be given on Google Classroom. Let’s take a look at what some of them might be.
The first thing I want you to notice on the Classwork page is that you have some icons that are grey and others that are a nice, bright colour. The ones with colour are the tasks where you have something to complete and hand in. It is a fantastic visual system. Very easily we can see which tasks on the Classwork page have something that needs to be completed.
Question Assignments
The first type of assignment that you might end up coming across is a question. In order to access the assignment, click on the title and it will expand your view. Then, you will click on “View Question.” That will take you directly to the assignment page. Here you can see all the details as well as any additional attachments your teacher might want you to have access to
Over in the right-hand corner, you will see your options for answering the question. In the example, you are given a multiple choice question which means there are a few options for your answer. You will make your choice and then click “Turn In”. You will confirm that it is indeed the answer you want to provide and then click “Turn In” again.
Another thing that you are able to do is send a private comment to your teacher. Private comments are located on the right-hand side of the page. All you need to do is click on the space, type your question or statement, and then click “Post”. This will send a notification directly to your teacher so they know there is a comment on an assignment that they need to take a look at.
Something interesting to note about the Classwork page, is that once you’ve handed in an assignment, the icon is no longer coloured. The icon is now greyed out. That makes it very easy to see which tasks you have completed and which tasks are still left for you to do.
Mark As Done
Sometimes, you might have an assignment given to you where you are not required to submit any files for evaluation. Instead, you have a task that you are to complete. In that case, you will be directed within the instructions to mark the task as done. In order to do this, open the assignment, take a look at the instructions and any files that have been uploaded for your use, and complete the task. Then, on the right-hand side under “Your Work” click the button that says “Mark As Done”.
Submitting Files
The other type of assignment you might be given is one where you will need to supply work that you’ve done. You will upload a file, create a file, or work on a file your teacher has given to you. Once again, open the assignment from the Classwork page and follow the instructions provided on the centre of the assignment page. Then, under “Your Work”, if your teacher has provided a document for you, it will be listed there. You can click on the document to access it and begin working on the task.
However, if there is no file already there for you to work on, you simply need to click on “Add or Create”. Then, choose to add a file from your Google Drive or computer OR create a new Google Slide, Doc, Sheet, or Draw file.
Once you have completed all the work for a particular assignment and you’ve made sure that all the appropriate files are attached, click the “Turn It In” button.
