Access and Grade Attempts

About graders accessing and grading attempts

When you enable parallel grading, graders can only access the assessment attempts assigned to them. At this time, graders don't receive notifications in the activity stream when attempts in the parallel grading workflow are ready to grade. Reconcilers receive notifications when grades are ready to reconcile.

As the final grader, the reconciler can't assign grades for graders.

The Submissions page is open with the number of submissions to grade highlighted and the status column also highlighted. The status column shows the list of attempts that are left to be graded.

In the anonymous grading workflow, graders also can only access the submissions assigned to them. The grading list is blank until students make submissions.

The Submissions page is open with the anonymous submissions list on screen. The notification that indicates the anonymous grading is in progress is displayed.

Warning

At this time, the annotations a grader adds to students' files aren't available to students or reconcilers.

After graders provide grades and feedback for their sets of submissions, their work is complete. Graders can't post grades. Instructors and reconcilers can't view a grader's rubric or edit a grader's grade and feedback.

The Submissions page is open with 1) the submissions list displayed, 2) the Status column with the "Complete" message displayed on each submission, and 3) the Grade column with no grades assigned on each submission.

After the reconciler posts grades, a grader can only view the reconciler's final grades, rubrics, and feedback. Graders can't edit their evaluations after grades are posted.

An example submission is open with the "Complete" message displayed, 2) a "93.2/100" grade assigned, and 3) the "Posted" message on screen.

Multiple attempts

When you allow multiple attempts on an assessment, graders can view their workload on the Submissions page. The final grader can reconcile grades even if graders don't grade all the attempts.

The Submissions page is open with 1) the submissions list displayed, 2) an example username selected and highlighted, and 3) the Multiple Attempts grading panel opened with two attempts submitted.
