How to Grade, Return, and Delete Assignments in Google Classroom

After you create assignments, they show up for students on the Classwork page. It's their responsibility to complete and turn them in by the due date. You can check the progress of an assignment on the Classwork page by clicking the assignment. This gives you an at-a-glance view of how many students have turned it in and how many additional students it's assigned to. When it’s time to review and grade assignments, you’ll do that from the Grades page.

Grade and Return Assignments

Here you see a table with each assignment listed at the top and separate cells to add a grade for every student in the class. If the assignment is past the due date, it displays as Missing for any students who didn't turn it in.

• Click the More button in the cell where you want to enter a grade.

The completed assignment opens in a new browser tab. You can add a comment to the file using the icon on the left side of the Files pane. Or, view the file in a new browser tab without any of the grading options by clicking the icon to the right of the file name in the Files pane.

• Add a grade for the assignment.
• (Optional) Add a comment and click Post .

The dialog box notifies you that the student will now be able to view their grade.

Once the assignment is graded, you can close the tab with the assignment to return to the gradebook.

Delete Assignments

If an assignment is no longer needed, simply delete it. Deleting an assignment removes it, along with any associated grades or comments, from Classroom. However, any files or attachments created in Google Drive will still remain. You’ll need to manually delete those in Drive if you don’t want to retain copies.

Be aware that deleting an assignment is permanent. There is no way to undo the deletion.

• On the Grades page, click the More button for an assignment.

The dialog box notifies you that any grades and comments associated with the assignment will also be deleted.

End-Of-Year Google Classroom Clean-up Tips

Even something as useful as Google Classroom can become cluttered and less efficient if we fail to manage it well.

As the school year winds down, most teachers go through some sort of check-out procedure for their physical classrooms, making sure everything is properly organized or put away for the summer. In much the same way, you may want to do some clean-up and close-out steps for your digital classroom ... Google Classroom .

Google Classroom is a powerful tool to help you and your students collaborate and communicate, but when used year after year, it can start to become a bit of a mess and a management challenge. To help with this, there are several suggestions to consider for Classroom when wrapping up the school year.

See below for six steps that may help you clean up your Classroom as you transition from one school year to the next. However, keep in mind these are all just suggestions and each is optional. While some may not apply to your situation, hopefully several will assist you in keeping your Classroom organized, clutter-free, and efficient for a new year. 

Tip #1 - Return all student work

One of the great features of Google Classroom is how it streamlines the process for turning in work. When a student turns in an assignment, Google automatically changes the sharing permissions on the file (or files), making you the owner and reducing the student's rights to view-only. This is helpful for grading, but you don't want to leave it this way.

When done grading an assignment you want to make sure to return the files to your students, so the ownership of the files will revert back to the students. This is especially critical if later you decide to clean up your Drive and delete old files. If you are still the owner of the students' work, when you delete it, you are really deleting the file. However, if you have returned the files, you are no longer the owner, so if you delete them, all it does is remove them from your Drive.

So, one of the first tips to consider is to make sure you have properly returned all the Classroom assignments to your students. One way to do this would be:

• Click the menu button in the top left corner of Classroom
• Choose "To-do" from the drop-down menu.
• This will show you all of the assignments from all of your classes.
• You can narrow it down to just one class at a time if needed by choosing a class from the "All classes" drop-down menu at the top.
• For each assignment you can click on the "Turned in" link to view the student submissions.

• You can now look for any student work that is marked as "Turned in" rather than "Graded".

• Select those students, add a grade if still needed, and click the "Return" button at the top to return them to the students.
• When done checking an assignment you can go back to the "To-do" page and move it into the "Reviewed" section by clicking the three-dots menu and choosing "Mark as reviewed".
• Repeat as needed.

Tip #2 - Un-enroll students from old classes

Another possible clean-up step is to remove students from the old classes . This may be an option for you if you prefer not to have students accessing content from your class in the future.

For example, this could be for academic integrity issues if you do not want students showing certain course content to new classes in future years. Of course, no cheating-prevention solution is guaranteed, as students can always find many ways around preventative measures. Still though, it is an option that may help.

If you decide you would like to unenroll students from old courses , you can do the following: 

• Open the course and go to the "People" tab.
• Check the box at the top of the "Students" section to select all the students in the class.
• Click the "Actions" button.
• Choose "Remove" from the drop-down menu.

Tip #3 - Archive old classes

When you are done with a class, a good way to clean up Classroom is to archive the old classes . Archiving is a process that: 

• Removes the class from your main Classroom home page (making your page cleaner and easier to navigate).
• Freezes the class so no new changes can be made to it (especially helpful if you choose not to remove students from the old classes).
• Still allows you to copy and reuse old posts and assignments from the archived class in your new classes.

To archive an old class, do the following:

• Go to the home page of Classroom
• Click the three-dots menu in the top right corner of the "card" for the class you wish to archive.
• Then click "Archive" from the drop-down menu.
• You will now get a pop-up window asking you to verify that you want to archive the class. Click "Archive" again to verify.

If you ever need to un-archive a class, you can do so as follows:

• From the home page of Classroom, click the menu button in the top left.
• Scroll down to the bottom of the drop-down menu and choose "Archived Classes".
• Click the three-dots menu in the top right corner of the "card" for the class you wish to un-archive.
• Then click "Restore" from the drop-down menu.
• You will now get a pop-up window asking you to verify that you want to restore the class. Click "Restore" again to verify.

Not only will archiving old classes help keep your Classroom screen clean, but it will also help your students. As the students start back for a new school year, they will not get distracted by classes from the previous year, but instead can easily jump right into this year's content.

Tip #4 - Remove old class calendars

When you create a class in Google Classroom, and then make assignments with due dates, this automatically creates a Google Calendar for the class. This is a convenient way for your and your students to go to Google Calendar and see upcoming due dates for classwork and projects throughout the course of the school year.

However, when the year is over and the class is done, you don't really need that calendar showing up anymore. If you have a number of classes, they can quickly clutter up your calendar list. Thankfully there are a couple of easy options for removing the calendars for old classes.

• Go to Google Calendar.
• You should see the names of your classes in the list under "My calendars" on the left side of the screen.
• To remove an old class calendar you will need to access that calendar's settings.
• Click the three-dots button to the right of the class name in the "My calendars" list.
• If you just want to hide the class calendar from your list, simply click "Hide from list".
• If instead you want to delete the calendar, click "Settings and sharing".
• You can now scroll down to the bottom of the calendar details screen and in the "Remove calendar" section click "Delete".
• This will open a pop-up window asking you to confirm the deletion.

Tip #5 - Move old class folders in Drive

Because Google Classroom automates the sharing and collaborating process, it is easy to forget what is actually going on behind the scenes in Google Drive. For each class you create in Google Classroom, a folder gets created in your Google Drive where all of the assignment documents and other files are stored.

Now you may never open that Classroom folder in Drive, so this tip may not apply to you at all. However, you may choose to browse that folder as another option for easy access to all your students' submitted work. If that is the case, the "Classroom" folder in your Drive can get pretty crowded over the years.

If it helps, you are allowed to move class folders to a new location in your Drive , so only the current class folders are easily visible. Here's how: 

• Go to Google Drive and select the "Classroom" folder.
• If you do not already have a place to move the old class folders, create a new folder by clicking "New" and "Folder".
• Name it something like "Archive" or "Old Classes" or such.
• You can now simply drag and drop the old class folders into the new folder you have created. 

Moving class folders does not interfere with their use in Google Classroom in any way. It simply cleans up your "Classroom" folder to make it easier for you to find current classes, if so desired.

Tip #6 - Remove old class files from "Shared with me" in Drive

When files get shared as part of a Classroom assignment, sometimes the files will also show up in the " Shared with me " area of your Google Drive. If you have a lots of students and lot of assignments, this can cause quite a mess in "Shared with me".

Now I am of the philosophy that it is not really worth the fight to try to keep "Shared with me" clean or organized in any way. I tend to think of it as Grand Central Station and just accept the fact that it will always be a mess.

However, if you really want to clean up "Shared with me" you are allowed to remove files from there. So you may want to consider getting rid of old files from this year's classes.

First though, two quick but important notes : 

• Make sure you have returned all the assignments to your students first before you delete anything out of "Shared with me" (see Tip #1 above). Remember that you actually become the owner of a file when a student turns it into you. If you have not returned the file yet, then you are technically the owner of the file, and if you delete the file, it really gets deleted.
• On the other hand, if you are not the owner of a file, and you delete it from "Shared with me" it does not really delete the file. It simply removes it from the "Shared with me" list. The file will still show up in your "Classroom" folders, even when you remove it from "Shared with me".

To remove a file from "Shared with me" do the following: 

• Go to Google Drive.
• Click "Shared with me" on the left.
• Select the file (or files) you wish to remove.
• Now you can click on the "Remove" icon in the top toolbar (looks like a trashcan).
• Or right-click on the file(s) and choose "Remove".
• The file(s) will now be removed from "Shared with me".

BONUS: Delete Old Classroom Bookmarks

Here is an extra bonus piece of advice I got from a good friend. Sometimes we try to make navigation easier for our students my having them add a bookmark directly to our Classroom page, rather than the Classroom site in general. That can certainly help save a click or two on a day to day basis, but can become confusing the next year when that class is no longer active.

If you have a practice of having your students add bookmarks for you Classroom page, also be sure to have an end-of-year practice of reminding your students to delete those old bookmarks. Again, this will help for a much smoother launch in the new school year. 

Google Classroom is a wonderful tool to help you and your students share documents, have discussions, access resources, and more. However, even something as useful as Classroom can become cluttered and less efficient if we fail to manage it well. Hopefully some of the tips shared above will be useful for you, and will help keep your Classroom running smoothly.

Google Classroom Cleanup: Archiving and Deleting Classes and Users

2020 has been a remarkable year for education. Moving from in-person instruction to remote learning is a huge change. You’ve taken amazing steps to ensure your students and teachers have uninterrupted learning. Congratulations on a job well done. 

As the calendar year and semester are about to change, it’s time to look forward to next semester. your teachers will want to begin the semester without old classes cluttering google classroom. to cleanup classroom, you’ll archive their old classes and delete provisioned classes, if you have any. you’ll also delete user accounts of teachers who have left. here’s a reminder, once a class ends, you can archive it. deleting a class is a little different. you can’t revive deleted classes. you should only delete declined and provisioned classes. , archiving and deleting classes one-by-one isn’t the best way to go about it. we’ve outlined the most efficient way for you to archive and delete classes. you’ll do this in a bulk action., let’s get started making sure google classroom is clean and organized. first, let’s review the differences between an archived and deleted class., what happens to an archived class, archiving a class removes it from teachers’ and students’ classroom homepage. the class moves to a separate area to preserve class materials, student work, and posts.  , teachers and students can still view an archived class. to use the class again, the teacher can restore it., teachers and students can access class materials for an archived class within the  google drive folder., students can’t unenroll from an archived class., google calendar retains the class calendar for teachers and students. users can remove the calendar from view or permanently delete it., an archived class stays in google classroom unless the primary teacher deletes it. , what happens to a deleted class, deleting a class removes it from google classroom. you can’t restore a deleted class., teachers and students can no longer access class posts or comments. assignment grades are lost., timing your google classroom cleanup, because of what happens to classes, the timing of your archive is important. you don’t want to archive or delete classes that are still in session. the best time to archive classes is after teachers have finished submitting grades for the semester., archiving classes in google classroom, in google classroom, teachers can individually archive their classes from the classes page.  they can restore these classes at any time and re-use class content in future classes., archiving classes using little sis, in little sis’ classroom explorer, you can perform a bulk archive across your domain, or for selected teachers. you’ll find this in the bulk actions drop-down at the top of the page. this opens the bulk classroom cleanup wizard. the wizard helps you identify active classes by date, school, or teacher. once you run the wizard, selected classes move from the homepage in google classroom. the classes move to the archived classes section. you can opt to send the primary teacher an email when you run this action. it is your way to let them know they have an archived class., teachers can restore these classes and re-use class content in their new classes., archiving classes using gam, if you’re a google apps manager (gam) user, you can download a list of all your classes using the print courses command . then filter down to the list of classes you want to bulk archive. if you want to skip the filtering and return only active classes, use the print courses state active command. next, you’ll use gam to ingest this list. finally, you’ll run the update course action to change the status of these classes to archived. you can do this by course id or alias. you’ll want to reference the bulkoperations gam wiki page for instructions on running this as a bulk task via csv or text file., deleting provisioned classes, there is no way to undo deleting a class. be cautious when using this function. , as you create classes, with a synching solution or gam, you may end up with provisioned classes on your domain. these classes are not active. teachers never accepted them and there is no work assigned. also, students can’t see provisioned classes on their homepage in classroom. since the semester has ended, provisioned classes are no longer needed. you don’t want to confuse teachers next year by showing them old classes in google classroom the best course of action is to delete these classes., deleting provisioned classes using little sis, in little sis’ classroom explorer, you’ll run bulk delete classes. you’ll find this in the bulk actions drop-down at the top of the page. this opens the bulk classroom cleanup wizard. the wizard helps you identify active classes by date, school, or teacher. once you run the wizard, selected classes no longer appear on the teachers’ classroom home page., deleting provisioned classes using gam, if you’re a google apps manager (gam) user, you can download a list of all your classes using the print courses command . then filter down to the list of classes you want to bulk delete . if you want to skip the filtering and return only provisioned classes, use the print courses state active command. next, you’ll use gam to ingest this list. finally, you’ll run the delete course action to remove the provisioned classes from the domain by class id or alias. , transferring ownership before deleting users, as a part of your classroom cleanup, you may want to remove user accounts. if a teacher has left and you don’t want to keep their account, you can delete it. there are some steps to take before you delete a user so you don’t end up with orphaned classes. an orphaned class is one where a deleted user owns the class. once you have an orphaned class, it is difficult (if not impossible) to remedy the situation., let’s look at a problematic scenario. if you delete a teacher account and there are students in the class they can still interact with each other. if the class lets students post to the stream, they can continue to post after deleting the teacher. without a teacher, there is no one to supervise the interaction., there are some simple steps you can take to avoid orphaning a class. first, transfer ownership of the class before you delete the teacher account. you can transfer these classes to a service account or another user in the domain. this could be the teacher taking over for the one who has left the district. regardless, keep in mind that transferring ownership acts as an invitation. only once the new teacher accepts the invitation should you delete the primary owner’s account.  , another option is to suspend rather than delete teacher accounts. with a suspended account, you can still transfer the classes they own to another user. once transferred, the class retains the primary owner as a co-teacher in the classroom. the new owner can later remove them., transferring classes using little sis, in the little sis classroom explorer, you can filter by the primary teacher.  this is how you identify all active classes for the teacher account. once you’ve located the classes, select them and use the bulk actions wizard to change the primary teacher. with little sis, you can opt to send messages to the former and new owner of the class. this is your way of alerting the former primary teacher of a transferred class. the new owner’s message prompts them to log in to google classroom and accept ownership. when active class ownership changes, the new owner becomes a co-teacher. they are co-teacher until the new owner accepts the invitation to take ownership of the class., transferring classes using gam, if you’re a gam user, you can change ownership of classes using the update course command.  the same stipulations apply. the class must be active and currently owned by a non-deleted user on the domain., about little sis and gam, if you’re a newbie to gam, feel free to take a stab at using it on your domain. the getting started guide in github is a great resource for new users. this is also where all the referenced commands in this article are located. gam can do much more than classroom management. it’s a great tool to have if you do bulk operations in g suite. you must be a super admin to use gam. you must also have to enable google cloud platform to use the api commands., little sis for classroom is a paid tool from amplified it, but you can use it free for 30 days with a quote. you’ll have to be a super admin to get up and running with the tool. as a super admin, you can delegate the bulk actions to other users on your domain. head on over to the little sis website to get a quote for your domain and start your trial. take some time to visit our help center . it has the getting started guide and knowledge
