Quick tip: If you hover over the progress bar with your mouse, you can see the results very fast without needing to click on anything. This works for both individual results and group results.

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.

 

To grade the task sheet of a student, take the following steps:

  1. Click on the ‘Students’ tab in the LMS.
  2. In the left menu, navigate to ‘All groups or click on ‘Search’.
  3. Look for the group you want to grade the task sheets from.
  4. Under ‘Courses’, select the task you want to grade.
  5. Under ‘Modules’, click on the results you want to grade.
  6. Navigate to the name of the student you want to grade the task sheet for.
  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:

  1. Click on the ‘Students’ tab in the LMS.
  2. In the left menu, navigate to ‘All groups or click on ‘Search’.
  3. Look for the group you want to grade the task sheets from.
  4. Under ‘Courses’, select the task you want to grade.
  5. Under ‘Modules’, click on the results you want to grade.
  6. Scroll down to the bottom of the page. Under ‘NEW ASSESSMENT’ you can grade the task sheets by selecting a quick assessment. You can choose from ‘4 – Skilled’, ‘3 – Adequate’, ‘2 – Limited’, and ‘1 – Exposure only’.
