Grading assignments from the Student Work page

One way to grade students' assignments is on the Student Work page . Simply click the score next to any student's name, then type the grade you'd like to give.

Viewing the class' grades as a whole

Google Classroom gives you the ability to export grades from assignments to Google Sheets . This will create a spreadsheet showing you the grades for each assignment by student, along with the assignment's average grade and the class' overall average grade.
