Grading

Anonymous Grading in SpeedGrader (Canvas Guide) Note-this only works if students don't type their names on their papers. You can turn on Anonymous Grading for all assignments and quizzes graded in SpeedGrader at once by turning on the Anonymous Grading feature in Course Settings>Feature Options. This will also anonymize SpeedGrader for grading discussions but it will not hide names in the actual discussion forum.
