Grading Assignments Without a Marking Guide

The following helps tutorial is for grading assignments that do not have integrated marking guides. If your assignments have marking guides, please see our document on Grading Forums and Assignments with an Attached Marking Guide. 

NOTE: All new courses and courses refreshed since 2015 have integrated marking guides. If you are unsure how your course is set up, please fill out an eLearning Support Request.
