Grade by question for assessments

Overview

Instructors can choose to grade students by question or by individual student.

The Grade by Question workflow lets instructors:

  • Review all student responses to a single question in one place.

  • Review the average score on each question across the course.

Grade by Question is available when scoring course assessments and managed assessments (AMP).
