Editing Scores

There may be times when you want to edit a student’s score. For example, an Open Response assignment contains a question that requires the word “Autumn” as the correct answer. One student has entered “Fall.” If you want to give the student full or partial credit, you can do so by changing the student’s score for the question.

In addition to editing an individual student score, you can edit the total possible points for each question, the extra points, and the final percentage.

▶

Use whole numbers to edit the scores. For example, type 75 to give a score of 75%, type 100 to give a score of 100%, and so forth.

Note: If you type a score and do not press Enter, the change is not made, and the previous score remains in place.

Previewing a Student’s Answer

You can preview a student’s answer to an individual assignment question in the Preview Pane. This provides a quick, easy, and efficient method for the review of questions, answers, and the modification of scores.

Note: The assignment must contain at least one question to be previewed.

1.

Click an individual assignment in the Assignments Summary list.

2.

Select the question cell you want to preview.

The following information is shown in the Preview Pane.

•

Q# Question. Original question with icon showing correct or incorrect response

•

Student’s Answer. Student’s response

•

Correct Response. Teacher’s correct response (blank if there is no correct response)

Note: Depending on the question posted, additional information may be displayed.

Modifying a Student’s Score for an Assignment

You can edit the score for an assignment from the Assignments Summary view, or you can edit the score for individual questions in an assignment from the Individual Assignments view. These steps describe how to change a score from either view.
