Mastery student overview

Instructors may use Student Mastery Reporting to provide an overview of your achievement on any standard or learning objective aligned to materials within a course. Your instructors can evaluate how you are learning and pinpoint where you may need additional attention.

Learning objectives, or standards, are sets of knowledge, skills, or behaviors that students are expected to know, understand, or perform as a result of learning. Learning objectives can be measured to determine the knowledge (cognitive) or skills and behaviors (affective) that students have gained over time.

How do I review my Mastery?

Students or parents may not have permission to review the Mastery area of a course. Contact your teacher or support contact with any questions.

You can keep track of your Mastery directly within a course.

1. Select Mastery from your course to display a list of all learning objectives aligned to graded course materials with your overall scores for each one.

2. Hover over a course material to review the individual score on that item:

Each course material is color-coded based on achievement thresholds determined by your instructor. A star icon indicates you have mastered the learning objective or standard.

How is my Mastery calculated?

Scores for each learning objective are calculated using only the grades that are given by your instructor for that specific alignment.

Your Mastery is then evaluated based on the following achievement levels:

• Exceeds Expectations — You have achieved the minimum score or higher set by your instructor.

• Meets Expectations — You have achieved the minimum score or higher set by your instructor.

• Does Not Meet — You have achieved below the minimum score for Meets Expectations.

• Mastery Achieved — You have scored at least the Meets Expectations minimum a specific number of times as set by your instructor.

Can I review learning objectives or standards aligned to each question on a test/quiz or assessment?

Students can’t review learning objectives for individual questions on assessments.

You can, however, review the learning objectives aligned with a given test/quiz or assignment. Select the Info icon within a test/quiz or assignment profile.

Additionally, if your instructor is grading with rubrics containing criteria aligned to learning objectives, they may choose to display this rubric for students. You can review the rubric in the assignment or discussion profile, or from a test/quiz or assessment question (subjective questions only).
