Summarise a students' results

The manual assessment of an exam can be done in two different ways.

Version 1:

Let the system calculate the grade based on scoring boundaries, then go in and manually change grades if they do not meet any "additional requirements". For example, "The student must achieve a minimum of 65% of points available in the exam, and at least 3 points per part."

By clicking on the top left tab within the assessment tool you will find the following image. To set the parameters for points-based assessment, click on ‘convert points to assessments’.

To set up the parameters in the view that opens, make sure that:

  • The minimum value is 0 and the maximum value corresponds to the maximum value of the exam.
  • To enter values ​​for grade boundaries, click in the box, enter the value, then press enter to set it.
  • Save your preferences by clicking ‘save distribution settings’.
  • Click the ‘set final assessment’ (green button). The system now enters suggested grades based on the parameters for grade boundaries.
