Publish Grades/AssessmentsWhen creating a course assignment, the Publish Grades checkbox is selected by default under the

Assessment Method setting on the Assignment Details page. This setting allows a student to receive

the assessment results instantly after an assessor completes and submits the assessment. You are able

to uncheck the Publish Grades setting on the Assignment Details page so that assessment results are

not released to students until all students in the class are assessed (i.e., all are in the Completed green

column). Once all students in the class are assessed, the Publish Grades button on the Submissions &

Grades tab is enabled to release all of the assessment results at once.
