Grading Assessments

Step 1: In the menu bar of the site, click [Assessments].
Step 2: Click the [Scores] button underneath the published assessment you wish to view the scores for.
NOTE: If multiple submissions were allowed for an assessment, you may select the drop-down list to view grades by Highest Submission or by All Submissions at the top of the screen.
Step 3: Click on the individual’s name or submission ID to view question responses.
Step 4: Find the questions that were not automatically graded. Read the response given and determine how many points the response is worth.
NOTE: To view and grade the entire site’s responses for an individual question, click [Questions].
Step 5: Type the points awarded into the text box above the question.
Step 6: Once all questions have been graded, click [Update] at the bottom of the screen.
