select the students name

Select the student name for the submission to be graded. Ensure that the checkbox for "Use Sakai grader to grade submissions" is unchecked so that the legacy grader is enabled.

Tip: Alternatively, select the rubric icon in the same row as the student's name to open the grading rubric for that student. However, opening the rubric from here will bypass the view of the student submission, so it is best used to review or verify a previously scored rubric.
