If you make an assignment without open-response questions, comprised entirely of multiple-choice questions, the entire assignment is auto-graded for you. If you have other question types, like short or extended response questions, student submissions will need to be graded by the teacher. 

To view auto-scored assignments:

  1. From the Teacher Dashboard, select Manage > Assignment List.

  2. Select the Class and then Active from the status drop-down. This will show your active assignments.

Some assignments include open-response questions. Once a student has submitted their assignment for grading, follow the steps above and from the status drop-down, select Needs Grading. At the desired assignment, select Grade.
