Revise a question for assignment regrading
Assignment regrading is used when modifications need to be made to an assignment that has already been submitted by your students for grading.
Some reasons for revising a question within an assignment could be:
A question may have been authored with an error (
Example— the defined correct answer option has a typo).A similar mistake is committed by multiple students such that the instructor chooses to accept an alternative response (
Example— the instructions weren't clear about how to round a numerical response).An unexpected system error (
Example— the Equation Editor misinterprets student input).
After revising the specific assignment question(s) in the Content Repository, the assignment can then be regraded for all applicable students simultaneously.
Any students attempting the assignment will automatically use the Current Revision of the question.
Usually, a question is first investigated to determine whether a revision is required or not.
If it's determined that there's a problem with the question, you can revise it and then use the revised version to regrade the assignment.
Investigate a question
The process of assignment regrading usually begins with investigating a question of interest (Example — perhaps you've received emails from multiple students inquiring about an assignment question).
You can then investigate the authoring details of the question to determine if it requires revision or not.
To investigate a question that may need revising:
Click Gradebook on the Class Homepage.
Click Class Grades.
Select the (A) unit, (B) activity, and (C) class where the question to be investigated is located.
Click Search.
The Class Grades results table is displayed for all students who completed this assignment. Click on a student’s last name or given name to view the student’s assignment.
Click Details to view the student’s responses to the assignment being investigated.
All questions and responses for that student’s assignment are visible.
After viewing your students’ responses, you may decide that the question requires a revision. Click Content Repository to exit the Gradebook and modify the question(s).
Revise a question
After you've investigated a question, you may decide that it requires revision.
You'll then be able to use this revised question for assignment regrading.
To revise a question to use for assignment regrading:
Navigate to the specific question in the Content Repository that needs revising and click Edit.
Use the Question Editor to revise your question as needed. Click Save & Close to save your revision.
You're then returned to the Content Repository where you can view your question revision(s) in the Content Summary pane. Each time a question is modified, a revision is created. You can choose a revision other than the most recent revision to be defined as the Current Revision by clicking Make Current. By default, the most recent revision of the question is tagged as the Current Revision.
You can now regrade the assignment using your question revision(s).
