Grade an Exercise

Review student submissions, move them through the grading workflow, score answers, and leave feedback.

When students submit exercises, their work appears in the Submissions tab of the course dashboard. Exercises move through a three-stage workflow: Submitted → In Progress → Graded.

Grading workflow

Stage	Meaning
Submitted	Student has submitted; not yet reviewed
In Progress	You have opened the submission for review
Graded	Review is complete and the grade is recorded

Submissions are displayed as cards on a board. Drag a card between columns or open it to change its status manually.
