You don't choose per student: it goes by Google Classroom where the student is on the Classroom roster, otherwise by email, and it can't reach a student who has neither. ## Share with the whole class Open the assignment. When rows are **Ready to share**, the bar at the top reads **Share with class**, or **Share feedback** for an assignment where you upload the work yourself. Select it. To share only some students, tick their rows on the **Submissions** tab and select **Share with class · N** in the bar that appears at the bottom. The dialog **Share feedback with students** offers **Share digitally** and **Print & hand back**. Choose **Share digitally**. For paper, see [Print and hand back](#print-and-hand-back) below. Under **How your students will get it**, the dialog counts students three ways: **via Google Classroom**, **by email**, and **can't be reached yet** \[1]. For the last group, select **Add emails** and type an address for each, or select **or print their reports**. Students you don't fix here get nothing. If the dialog says some grades still need review, they won't go out. Select **Approve all N** to include them. If you ticked rows yourself, the dialog instead says "Sharing approves them". For a class connected to Classroom, turn on **Post to Google Classroom with grades attached** to put the grade and a feedback link on each student's Classroom submission. Off, nothing is posted and those students get feedback by email. Under **When students get it**, keep **Share now**, or choose **Schedule for later** and pick a time. Times are read in the class's time zone. Select **Share now**, or **Schedule**. ## Print and hand back Choose **Print & hand back** in the first dialog, or **or print their reports** in the second. The **Export N submissions** dialog lets you choose what to include, such as rubric scores and feedback, then **Export N** downloads a ZIP named after the assignment with one PDF per student, each named with the student's name and the assignment title. For one student it downloads a single PDF. ## Share with one student On a **Ready to share** row, select **Send**, or **Share** for work you uploaded. On the grading screen, select **Share**. The dialog is titled **Share** followed by the student's name, shows how that one student will receive it, and lets you type an email on the spot if they have none. Its button is **Share now**, or **Save and share** when you've added an email. ## How to tell it worked A toast says **Shared feedback with N students**. Each shared row changes to **Shared**, its main action becomes **View**, and the bar at the top reads **All N graded and shared**. If you scheduled it, the bar shows a chip reading **Feedback goes out** with the time, and a cross to cancel. Students on the Classroom roster see the grade and a link on their Classroom submission. Students on email get a message titled **Your feedback for** the assignment name **is ready**, with a **See your feedback** button. ## If something goes wrong They have no email and aren't on the Classroom roster. Select **Add emails** in the dialog, or print their reports. You can add an email later from the row menu with **Edit student details**, and then **Send** on that row. Sharing stops rather than half-completing. Reconnect Google Classroom from your class settings and try again, or turn off **Post to Google Classroom with grades attached** and share by email. Check their row says **Shared**, not **Ready to share**. Approving doesn't share. If it says **Shared**, open the row menu and select **Resend feedback link**. If you scheduled the release, nothing goes out until that time. It was never opened to students. Sharing opens it, so they can see the assignment and their feedback together. Nothing else changes. ## Related tasks * [Review and approve grades](/teachers/review/review-grades) * [What each status means](/teachers/collect/statuses) * [Send grades back to Classroom](/teachers/google-classroom/send-grades-back) * [See your score and feedback](/students/see-your-feedback), what the student reads Opens GradingPal on the screen this page describes.
