Grade the tasksCopy Anchor Link

Edulink Assessment has already graded the tasks that can be graded automatically. See Points and automatic grading.

• Fully correct or fully wrong: the points are set.
• Partly correct: you get Suggested points. Select Approve to keep the suggestion, or Decline to set the points yourself.
• Text answers: you set the points yourself.

Choose points in the menu next to each task. A task with "-" is not graded. At the top you see how many tasks are graded, and how many need approval.

CommentCopy Anchor Link

• On a task: select Comments next to the task and then New comment.
• In a text answer: select text in the pupil's answer and choose Add comment, or Highlight to colour the text.

You can also correct the pupil's text directly. The changes are shown as corrections, like in a word processor. With Show original you see the text as the pupil submitted it, and with Show with comments you see your grading again. Reset to original removes all corrections and all comments on the task, including those under Comments.

If the task has a Model answer, it is shown below the answer.

Set a gradeCopy Anchor Link

You find the Feedback section both at the top and at the bottom of the page. There you write:

• Grade: enter the grade, or choose from the list.
• Comment: an overall comment to the pupil.

If the test uses a grade scale, you see Suggested grade. Select Use suggested grade to use it.
