How to find your grades and understand emoji feedback
Where to find your grades
Section titled “Where to find your grades”Released grades show up in two places:
- Assignments > Completed: each submitted assignment shows its grade
- Dashboard: the Recent feedback card lists your most recently graded work
Emoji grades
Section titled “Emoji grades”Most courses grade with emoji instead of numbers. Each emoji your grader gives carries a value they set up, and the mix of emoji on an assignment is your grade; if several graders grade you, their grades average. Some courses use a plain 0–100 scale instead, in which case you see a score.
A rough guide to the common set:
- 🔥 / 🚀: above and beyond, mastery, standout work
- 👍: solid work that meets expectations
- 👀: not yet there
- 👎 / 😭: needs significant rework
Your instructor can customize which emoji they use and what each one means, so check your course’s grading guide if it differs.
Released vs pending
Section titled “Released vs pending”Grades stay hidden until your instructor releases them, and releasing happens per assignment. A submitted assignment that hasn’t been released yet shows as Pending. Once it’s released, the emoji appear, along with who graded it. An assignment can be graded internally well before you see it.
Quiz scores
Section titled “Quiz scores”Quiz scores aren’t held back for release: a score shows as soon as you finish an attempt, on your Assignments and Quizzes pages. You see the percentage the attempt earned and, if you finished it after the due date, how many hours late it was, such as 3h late.
Feedback
Section titled “Feedback”The real feedback lives in your Github repository, in commit comments, the pull request, or the assignment issue if your course uses one, where graders leave specific comments. The emoji is the quick signal. The comments are where you learn what to improve. If you disagree with a grade, Request regrade on the assignment row opens a resubmit request.
