Anonymous Grading

Reducing the Perception of Bias

What is it?

Selecting the anonymous grading option hides student names from graders when they view assignment submissions in SpeedGrader.

Why is it important?

Excellent tool when there are multiple instructors for a course, and to protect the anonymity of the grading instructor.
