1. Before we begin, please note: each section follows a similar premise but are different enough that details are needed. Read carefully and take things step-by-step!
Some sections have confirmations before deletion or moving forwards in general, and some do not.
2. To begin, navigate to the “Manage Grades” page by clicking the “Assessments” dropdown menu and choosing the “Grades” option. Then follow the steps in one or more of the sections below.
The “Manage Grades” page shows all the assignments, quizzes, and discussions grade items and their associations.
You will be using this page a lot.
