Assigning a grade using the Grading Tool

The Google Classroom web page for assignment submissions is the same page you use for Question post submissions, which you learned about in Chapter 4, Starting an Online Discussion with Questions. Check out that chapter for in-depth steps regarding changing how many points an assignment is worth and other tips.
