Mass Enter Gradebook Assignment Scores

Use this procedure to mass enter scores for a gradebook assignment. Scores can be mass updated either from the Gradebook Entry page or from the Assignment Detail page. The advantage of using the Assignment Detail page is that it allows you to enter comments for each score (on the Gradebook Entry page, you must open a comment dialogue for each score to enter a comment). This procedure lets you select either page.
