Most questions within a publication, including Crosswords, will be automatically graded when submitted. Questions within an Article and the Explore More section don’t have a submit button. When a student selects an answer, they will receive feedback automatically.
Any question that isn’t automatically graded will be marked as incorrect with a note stating, “Some questions still need to be graded.” The student will see this after they’ve submitted it.
You can view and grade student submissions in three different ways.
- Click Classes
- Select your Classroom
- Click the Grade tab
Here you will see all of the assignments, assessments, or Customized Content items that need to be graded for that Classroom.
When you click on the green Grade button next to a student’s name, a box with the submission will pop up.
- Scroll to find a question that needs to be graded
- Click on Incorrect, Partially Correct, or Correct
- When finished grading, click Mark As Graded at the bottom
Note
All Weekly Assessment and Customized Content questions have a point value of 1. You can change the point value on a question when you are grading or by editing the assignment/assessment and saving it.
