🧑🏽‍🏫 Teaching Assistants

Classmoji makes it easy to collaborate with Teaching Assistants (TAs) by streamlining repo access andgrading workflows.

You can assign TAs to grade specific students, modules, or entire classes—all without manually managing GitHub permissions.

👥 Adding TAs to a Classroom​

To add a TA:

  1. Go to your assignments page
  2. Enter the TA’s name, email, and their GitHub username

Once added, Classmoji will automatically:

  • Invite the TA to the classroom’s GitHub organization
  • Grant access to relevant student repositories
  • Display grading assignments in their TA dashboard

📘 Assigning TAs to Students or Modules​

You can assign TAs in two ways:

Manual Assignment​

  • Choose specific TAs to grade a student or module
  • Useful for small classes or when TAs follow particular sections
Manual Assignment

Auto-Assignment​

  • Let Classmoji evenly distribute grading responsibilities
  • Automatically assigns TAs based on availability and load balancing

You can reassign TAs at any time—even after work is submitted.

✏️ TA Grading Tools​

Each TA sees a grading dashboard showing:

  • Repositories they’re assigned to
  • Student submissions that need grading
  • All class submissions

Once a TA submits a grade, it’s visible to the student immediately—unless you’ve disabled grade visibility.

Best Practices
  • Assign TAs to students or teams early to avoid confusion
  • Encourage use of consistent emoji feedback
  • Check TA progress from the instructor dashboard to ensure timely grading
