# Find student responses inside an assignment

## Quick answer

Open Assignments, select the assignment, and open Responses. The top row shows Turned in, Need your review, Average score, and Average time. The table lists Student, Score, Time, Submitted, and Review.

## What to do

1. **Open the assignment**: Find the assignment in Assignments and select its row.

2. **Open Responses**: Select Responses or Responses (number) in the assignment tabs.

   *Select Responses from the assignment tabs to open the submitted-work view.*

3. **Read the summary**: Use Turned in to confirm the count, Need your review to find unfinished grading, and Average score and Average time for a quick class read.

   *The summary row gives you the submission count, remaining review work, average score, and average time.*

4. **Open a student**: Select Review when the submission needs your decision. Select Open when the saved review is already complete and you want to inspect it again.

   *Use the action in the Review column to open the student response you want to inspect.*

5. **Refresh when needed**: Select Refresh to request the latest responses immediately.

## If something is not working

### The Responses tab says No responses yet.

Confirm the assignment is published and that students used this assignment's link. Copy the link again from the assignment if needed.

### A student's row is missing.

Select Refresh, then confirm the student submitted under the expected account and assignment link.
