Grade Book

A Grade Book assessment may be used to manually grade assignments, it will not appear in the student guides. When the instructor opens a student assignment, the Grade Book is available for rubric based grading. Comments, points, and rubric items are visible to the student when the assessment is graded and the grades are released. Grade Book assessments do not show in the total assessment count on student/teacher dashboard. For more information on General, Metadata (optional) and Files (optional) see Assessments.

1. Complete General. Keep the Show Name setting enabled to make submissions easier to locate when grading.

2. Click Grading in the navigation pane and complete the following fields:

• Points - Enter the score if the student selects the correct answer. You can choose any positive numeric value. If this is an ungraded assessment, enter zero (0).

• Allow Partial Points - Partial points must be toggled on for this type of assessment. Once you toggle this on, you will be able to add rubric items. Rubric items are negative points, they will be subtracted from the total score of the assessment.
