Can you assign the same comment to multiple students or do you have to post each one individually? Blanket scores/comments? Are there “Canned” or generic comments that can be accessed?

Can you assign the same comment to multiple students or do you have to post each one individually? Blanket scores/comments? Are there “Canned” or generic comments that can be accessed?

On the gradebook or on the report card?

The answer is yes in either case.

At the top of the report card comment tool, for example, there is a default comment box which you can use to post to all kids generally. And if you want canned comments there, we do have that, you just need to request that that dropdown be added to the Report Card Comment Tool.

There are not canned comments for the gradebook, but any comment entered in the comment box on the toolbar will be attached to any scores given while that comment is in the box.
