Quick Eval Tool

The Quick Eval Tool within Brightspace allows instructors to grade submissions for Discussions, Assignments, and Quizzes.

​

While in this tool, instructors have the ability to evaluate submissions for all courses, or they can select specific courses they wish to evaluate.

​

Please note that any grade item that is not linked to Discussions, Assignments, or Quizzes will not be viewable in Quick Eval.
