Adjust Grading Settings
The Grading settings for a category determine how the assignments in a category will be graded upon submission by a student enrolled in your course.
- Click the name of the category (link).
- Click the “Grading” tab, to view and adjust settings.
- Use the drop-down menu to select the maximum number of attempts. Note: By default, the Supersite allows 2 attempts except for assessment items.
- Indicate the grading strictness to use on fill-in-the-blank assignments. Note: By default, the Supersite requires only accents to match exactly.
- Indicate whether or not you would like students to see their errors noted on fill-in-the-blank assignments. This feature is called “Fill-in-the-blank Feedback.” Note: By default, the Supersite marks student errors after the first attempt.
- Indicate if students should receive full credit regardless of their performance-based score (i.e. score is 100% regardless of the number of correct answers). Note: By default, the Supersite calculates scores based on student performance.
- Click “save” to apply setting changes.
Adjust Lateness Settings
The Lateness settings for a category determine how the assignments in a category will be graded upon late submission by a student enrolled in your course.
