BULK PUBLISH FEEDBACK

When you choose to “Save Draft” for a student’s submission assessment, your progress on that page will be saved, however, the student will not receive any feedback or grade for the assignment. You do have the option to bulk publish all feedback to your students so that everyone will receive their assessments simultaneously. Be sure to use the Save Draft feature as you are assessing your students.

1. When you have finished assessing everyone in your class click Back to Folder Submissions.
   
2. Ensure that you can see all students in your class on a single page. Use the submissions per page option. (If you have multiple pages of submissions to your dropbox folder, you will need to perform these next steps multiple times; once for each page.)
3. Click the <checkbox> to select everyone on the page.
4. Click Publish Feedback.
