FAQ: Can I Use Google Classroom To Set Up My Own Grading Parameters, Instead Of Relying Only On Student Progress On My Skill Struck Educator Portal?
Last updated - September 15, 2026
Yes, educators using Google Classroom can set their own custom grading parameters.
While Skill Struck automatically tracks student progress and evaluates coding challenges using our auto-grader, educators retain full control over how assignments are graded within Google Classroom:
- Draft Control & Manual Adjustments: When Skill Struck assignments are exported to Google Classroom, they are pushed over as drafts. Educators can edit these draft assignments to customize due dates, instructions, and point values before publishing them to students.
- Google Classroom Grading Systems: Educators can configure their Google Classroom settings to use their own preferred evaluation methods, such as Total Points, Weighted Categories, or No Overall Grade.
- Overriding Grades: Educators are not restricted to auto-graded outcomes; they can manually alter, excuse, or override any grade directly within Google Classroom.
This also applies to the Canvas integration as well. Manually input grades in that integration will not passback to Skill Struck, please see this article.
