4.3 Task sheet grading

Task sheets are not being grated automatically. Teachers need to grade these themselves. Therefore, the score bar will be grey and not the usual combination of green and red.

7. Click on ‘Review module’ to view what the student has written down. You can also provide some optional feedback.
8. Select the pencil icon to grade the task sheet.
9. You can grade the task b selecting the right percentage that reflects the score of this student. A 100% score means the student was perfect, a 0% score means the student failed and did not get the task at all.

 

Tip: If you do not need to review the students’ module because you were, for example, in the lab with your students while they worked on the task, you can score the task sheets more efficiently. To grade all task sheets of a group at once, take the following steps:
