-The embedded video below, shows two different ways to mark discussions,​ by assessing the thread or assessing the student. Using Assess Topic takes you to a screen where you can assess each students participation in this Topic (as long as you have a linked Grade Item in the Grades tool). This is useful when you have read all the responses within the Topic and want to grade all students at once. A discussion based rubric may be useful to speed up and standardize marking. 
- 
-If you prefer to mark as you read, Assess Student allows you to grade one student in the context of the thread. For more information on marking discussions,​ please view the two videos below.
