Grading a Student Attempt from the Assessment

Click anywhere on a student’s submitted attempt to open it for grading. Add scores in the box next to student responses:

• Grade any subjective questions that require manual scoring.

• Overwrite any auto-scored questions.
  
• Click clear override to remove the score you entered. If the question already had an automatically calculated score, remove the override to revert back to this score.
  

The Attempt Score field in the upper-right corner updates automatically as you add or change question scores.

Important Notes:

• Attempt score is a tally of the number of points achieved over points possible for each student attempt – you cannot edit it directly.
• To change a student’s attempt score, manually increase or decrease the points awarded on individual questions. To change a student’s overall assessment grade, change the gradebook points from the By Student view or from the Course Gradebook.
• Any changes to the correct answer setup (for example, changing the correct answer) made after students have submitted the assessment will not automatically adjust the students' scores. Instructors must manually override the grade.
