Can I review an assignment submission in Google Docs?

Yes, are able to review students' Assignment Review (Async) submissions within Google Docs! However, in order to do this correctly, there are a few steps to follow, outlined below:

How to Review a Student's Submission in Google Docs

1. Download the Student's Submission.

   Within Upswing, click on the file name of the student's assignment you recently claimed to download the student's submission.
    

2. Open Google Docs.

   Open a new document from your Google Docs landing page and paste the Upswing Assignment Review Template there.
   
   

3. Open the Student's Assignment.

   In that same document, click on "File" in the top right corner, then select "Open" to browse your downloaded files. Select the student's essay from your computer's files. A separate Google Docs window should open with the student's submission. If the Upswing Assignment Review Template window is replaced by the student's submission, go to your Google Docs landing page, open a new blank document, and open the essay from that window.
   
   

4. Copy and Paste the Upswing Assignment Review Template Header.

   Copy the header on the Upswing Assignment Review Template document, and paste the header onto the student's submission within Google Docs.
   
   

5. Complete Your Review.

6. Copy and Paste the Upswing Assignment Review Template Final Review Section.

   Once you're ready to fill in the Final Review portion of the template, copy and paste the entire Final Review section from the template onto the student's submission and provide your feedback.
   
   

7. Download the Completed Review.

   Now that your review is complete, you can download the file to your computer. Click on "File", then select "Download". Select the "Microsoft Word (.docx)" format. The file should now appear in your "Downloads" folder on your device.
   
   

8. Upload and Complete the Review.

   Upload the completed review to the student's submission, write a message to the student, send the message, and mark the assignment as complete!
