Where are my assignment grades?
Typically, assignments aren't graded automatically. Your instructor must grade each assignment and post the grade and feedback.
If your instructor needs to grade your assignment, Not graded appears in the Grading section in the assignment's side panel.
Your instructor may choose not to reveal the correct answers to automatically scored questions until all students have submitted. A banner appears at the top of the assessment with this information. Check back later to see if answers have been revealed.
As your instructors post grades, you'll find them in your activity stream. Select View my grade to display your grade.
You can also access the assignment in your course to review your grade and feedback in context.
Your grades also appear on the global and course grades pages.
