Hello MiriamJacobs,
I believe there is not a way to create a Grade Column without creating an Assignment. For such Tests where I do not need any submission but want to manually Grade students (for example, Grade Component like Attendance), I create an Assignment with Submission Type as No Submission. Submission Type can also be On Paper for tests that are conducted in-person and require no online submission.
This way a Grade Column is created in the Gradebook and I can grade students using the Grades tool and enter scores in each grade cell or via the SpeedGrader.
Here is the article that can help you with creating such tests where submission is not required: How do I create assignment columns for non-submission assignments in the Gradebook?
Hope this helps!
Thanks!
Pallavi
