How to Override Group Scores for Individual Student


An example of different scores for the students in a group submission assignment

 

Overview:

This guide will show you how to override the group score and feedback for an individual student within groups.

 

What to know:

To conduct a group assignment, there are several prerequisites set-up to make sure the submissions are implemented on behalf of the groups:

  1. Create several student groups to cover all relevant students groups;
  2. Create a grouping to cover all the groups in question;
  3. Apply this grouping in the assignment dropbox and enable "Student submit in groups";

It is only necessary for one group member to make the submission on behalf of the group. Other group members will be automatically recorded as submissions completed. If the teacher grade only one of the submissions, the scores will then be applied to all the other group members, which means all the group members will receive the same score for the group submission.

Sometimes, if the teacher wishes to provide various scores and feedback to individual students, this can be achieved by uploading the grading sheet.
