Locating Quick Eval
Quick Eval is a tool located on an instructor’s Brightspace homepage(accessible by clicking the Brock logo in the top-left of Brightspace). It can be found in two places:
Navbar
Quick Eval can be found via the navbar on the Brightspace homepage.
Widget
Quick Eval is also a widgeton an instructor’s Brightspace homepage. It can be found below the My Courses widget. Clicking on the Quick Eval title or “View all activities” on the widget will open the Quick Eval tool fully.
View By/Filtering
The Quick Eval tool has a default view of sorting submissions by submission date (least recent → most recent), it also offers the option to view by Activities, allowing instructors to search for new submissions from a particular assessment.
Instructors are given the ability to filter by Activity Name (Assessment Name), Course, and Date should they be looking for particular submissions.
Grading Through Quick Eval
While it offers a convenient means of accessing new submissions across courses, Quick Eval does come with a drawback.
Upon clicking on a submission, instructors are brought to that assessment’s grading area. The grading area will change to reflect whether the assessment is assignment-based or quiz-based. Unfortunately, instructors do not have the ability to quickly switch between multiple student submissions the way they would when normally grading submissions directly from the assessment. Instead, instructors must save a draft of their grading or publish it, and then select “Back to Quick Eval” before choosing another submission.
This process is tedious, and may be reason alone for some instructors to continue to grade using normal means.

View by Activities
View by Activities sorts new submissions by the assessment they are associated with. Additionally, data shows instructors how many submissions have been completed, how many have been evaluated, and how many of those evaluations have been published. This allows instructors to keep track of how the grading process for any one assessment is going. By hovering their mouse over an assessment (or selecting the bottom dot on the far-right of the assessment) new options are given to the instructors.
Evaluate All: Sends instructors to the respective grading area of the assessment, where they can grade each new submission in turn.
Submission List: Sends instructors to the submission area of the assessment. They can take a closer look at who has submitted, who hasn’t, when those submissions were made, etc.
More Actions: Instructors have the ability to publish all draft evaluations, or dismiss the activity from Quick Eval temporarily. Dismissing the activity from Quick Eval doesn’t affect the assessment itself in any way. Dismissed activities can be viewed by clicking the three dots above the search bar.\
