Make a discussion board a graded assignment
After you've created a discussion board, you can edit it to make it a graded assignment. It will then automatically appear as a column in the Grade Center.
1. Once in your course, click Discussion Board on the left side of the screen.
2. Hover your mouse over the name of the discussion board, click the down arrow to the right of the discussion board name, and select Edit.
3. In the Forum Availability section, leave the Date and Time Restriction fields blank if you'd like the discussion to be available to students immediately and open indefinitely.
4. To set a date which the discussion forum will be open, click on Display After and select a date and time.
5. To set a date which the discussion forum will no longer be available, click on Display Until and select a date and time.
6. To allow students to edit their posts (in case they make a typing/spelling mistake), in the Forum Settings section, click Allow Author to Edit Own Published Post.
7. To make this a graded assignment, click on the button next to Grade Discussion Forum and enter the number of Points Possible for the assignment.
8. Select the minimum number of posts a student must make before the "needs grading" icon appears in the Grade Center.
9. Click Submit.
