# Assignments + grading workflow

> Post an assignment from a lesson, from a course, or from a live session. Submissions land in /dashboard/assignments. Grade in a side panel with a rubric, AI-drafted feedback, a fast Save & Next queue, and one-click reminders.

## Three scopes

- Lesson-linked — shown as a 'follow-up' under the lesson.
- Session-linked — attached to a live class; shown in past-class recap.
- Course-level — surfaces in the course's Assignments & Projects tab.

## Add a rubric (optional)

When you create an assignment, add a grading rubric — one criterion per line (e.g. 'Correct approach (40%)', 'Working deliverable (40%)', 'Clarity (20%)'). It's private to you: students never see it. It appears on your grading panel so you grade consistently, and it feeds the AI feedback drafter below so suggestions are scored against your actual criteria.

## Submission

Learners submit a link or upload + optional notes. The public share token means a student can submit without being signed in (useful for legacy invites).

## Grading

Open a submission → score + feedback + status (graded). The learner gets notified by in-app + email; their lesson auto-marks complete when the assignment is graded above passing.

## Draft feedback with AI

Click 'Draft feedback' on the grading panel and we write a specific, ready-to-edit comment from the brief, your rubric, the student's submission, and the score you just entered. You always review and edit before publishing — it just removes the blank-box tax on the most repetitive part of grading. Requires an AI plan.

## Grade a batch fast

- 'Save & next' publishes the current grade and jumps straight to the next ungraded submission — no returning to the roster between students.
- Keyboard: press ⌘/Ctrl+Enter from the score or feedback field to save and advance.

## Remind non-submitters

The 'Remind N non-submitters' button sends an in-app + email nudge to exactly the enrolled students who haven't submitted yet. It confirms the count first, and the reminder deep-links the student to the work. (Quizzes have the same thing for students who haven't attempted.)

## Export to CSV

'Export CSV' downloads an Excel-ready gradebook — one row per student with status, submitted time, score, and feedback. Quiz screens export attempts with score, pass/fail, and time taken.
