Grading on Google Classroom: Part Three (Google Forms that can't be auto-graded)

on
This is the third part in a series of blog posts that go into detail on how to grade assignments in Google Classroom. The first post talked about typical assignments (Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, etc.). The second post was about importing grades from auto-graded Google Forms.

This post is going to explain how to grade and give feedback on a Google Form that has open-ended questions (questions that cannot be automatically graded by Google).


  1.  On the "student work" page, click to edit the form that you have attached to the assignment. 

  1. Click on the pencil to edit the form

From this screen, you can either edit your questions (1) or look at the student responses (2). We're already in the grading process, so we're going to click on "responses" and start grading.


This is the responses screen.
  1. Choosing "summary" displays all of the results of the Google Form in summation of every respondent.
  2. Choosing "question" displays the results by question.
  3. If we're going to grade open-response questions, we need to click "individual" and start looking at each student's individual response.


This is an individual student's response to an open-ended question. Grading it is similar to setting up the answer key for an auto-graded Google Form. 
  1. This is the question. It's been automatically marked incorrect because no "correct" answer was set in the key.
  2. This is where you click to add feedback and explain to the student why you gave them the grade you did. You can add links and Youtube videos to give them resources to go back to, or you can just type words in and explain your reasoning behind your grading. It's up to you,
  3. Once you've given feedback, you type in how many points you feel the response has earned. You will be prompted to hit "save." 
Once you've graded all of your student's open-ended responses, you should save and return to the "student work" page. From here, you hit "import grades" and it will plug in whatever grade you gave your student and saved. 

And it's that simple! Now you know how to grade open-ended responses.

If any of this was confusing or didn't help answer questions you have, please let me know. You can either comment on this blog or send me an email (if you know my work email-- this option is for co-workers, not internet strangers). 

Until next time,
