Complete Advanced Properties & Additional Options: Click Create.

Complete the associated Dropbox file info and add a New Grade item. Click SAVE.

Click Done. Now if you check your Dropbox & Grades area, you’ll see the project group listed. When the group submits this assignment, one of them uploads it to the project group area of the Dropbox and you can grade it for all of the group members from there.

P.S. NOTE 1: If you decide to cancel a group that has a Dropbox assignment & Grade associated with it, be sure to (1) delete it from the Dropbox first, then (2) delete it from Manage Grades, and then (3) go to Edit Course/Groups and delete the group. This order of deletion will insure that you’ll be able to remove it from Grades. Note 2: If you’re going to be using groups all semester, don’t forget that you can add it to your Course NavBar for quicker access (see Module 2).
