Grading on the Free vs Pro Plans

With CodeHS Free, teachers can grade assignments one at a time and use Grade Mode, which lets you move through submitted assignments in your grading queue.

CodeHS Pro offers teachers many additional tools and a customizable Gradebook that allows you to organize, edit, and easily view/export student grades.

Learn more about the differences between Grading on CodeHS Free and Pro.

  • Add or remove assignments types (such as videos) from your Gradebook

  • Give / Remove student permission to view grades

  • Automatically set late assignments to be graded and finalized as a zero

  • Filter to view grades by module or lesson

Grading Student Work and Leaving Feedback

You can use the CodeHS Autograder to automatically grade and finalize assignments, or you can choose to review and grade assignments yourself. CodeHS Grading Settings allow you to adjust this setting by module, lesson, or assignment.

Any assignment set to Teacher Graded will go to your Grading Queue. Fast Grade is the best tool for working through submissions quickly. View student code and solution code side-by-side, send feedback, and assign a grade all in one window.

Applying filters to the Fast Grader

In Fast Grade mode, you can filter by Course, Section, assignment name, or assignment status.

To filter by Courses or Sections:

  1. Filters and Ordering > Filter by > Sections

  2. Select any Course or Section that you’d like to fast grade.  

  3. Don’t forget to click 'Apply filters and order’ to apply the changes!

Select the bold Course title to add the Sections in the Course to the fast grade queue. You can also select the Section title to individually add Specific sections to the Fast Grade queue.

Removing Filters from the Fast Grader

You can remove filters from the Fast Grader in a few different ways. Clicking the red ‘Clear All Filters’ button deselects all of the filters that were previously selected.

Clicking on the Section(s) title will remove all of the assignments from the fast grade queue.

Alternatively, clicking on the Course title will remove the corresponding Sections’ assignments from the fast grade queue. Don’t forget to click ‘Apply Filters and Ordering' when you’re done with your selection!

Manually Adjusting Grades and Assignments

You can manually change point values in the Gradebook by clicking on the blue Edit button. This allows you to:

  • Manually adjust student grades on assignments

  • Remove individual assignments from your Gradebook
