The "Grade Me" block keeps track of ungraded activities and provides links for quick and easy access. The block is configured to notify you about ungraded assignment submissions, quizzes and lessons, and unrated forums, database items and glossary entries.

Good to Know

• Forums set for whole forum grading are not tracked by this block; forums set for ratings will be scanned for ungraded posts.
• Items that you have scored directly in the gradebook instead of within the activity link will show as ungraded in the Grade Me block. (Just ignore them!)
• Students will see this block through Winter 2026 BUT all it reports to them is "Nothing to grade!". Beginning Spring term, the block will be hidden from students. See instructions below to learn how to hide the block from students.

How the Block Works

The block will initially congratulate you for not having anything to grade; ungraded activites will appear as the course progresses. Click on the name of an activity to go directly to it and access ungraded items.

Hide the Grade Me Block from Students

The Grade Me block is visible to students through Winter term 2026 and hidden thereafter, displaying the message "Nothing to grade!". To hide it from them:

1. Click on the Actions menu in the upper right corner of the block and choose Permissions.
2. In the "View block" permissions field, locate the link for the "Student" and "Authenticated user" roles and click on their trash cans to remove them from the permissions. Your changes will be saved automatically.
