Assessments

An assessment is a set of questions, a list of students, and a window of time it is open in. Answers can be marked automatically, by you, or both.

This section is the detail. For how to set one up and run it, the teachers path walks through it in order.

What one is made of

  • Questions. Five types, mixed as you like. Programs are marked by running them against test cases you write.
  • A student list. Its own roster, built by adding people or importing a student group.
  • A teacher list. Colleagues who can help write or mark it.
  • A window. The times it opens and closes.
  • Marking settings. How much is done for you, and what students get back.

How an assessment moves

How an assessment movesAn assessment goes from Draft to Ready when you publish, to In Progress when it opens, and to Completed when it closes. It can be paused to On Hold. Each student's submission goes from Yet to Start through In Progress and Submitted to Evaluated, and to Result Announced when you release results.THE ASSESSMENTDraftReadyIn ProgressCompletedOn HoldpublishopensclosespauseEACH STUDENT'S SUBMISSIONYet to StartIn ProgressSubmittedEvaluatedReleasedsubmitmarkingreleaseA student who asks you to look again moves to Reevaluation Requested, which waits on you.Marking stops at Partially Evaluated while any written answer is still unmarked.
The assessment moves through its own states. Each student moves through theirs independently.

The states an assessment moves through

State What it means
Draft Still being written. No student can see it
Ready Published and waiting for its opening time
In Progress Open now, students can work in it
On Hold Paused by you. Nobody can start or continue
Completed Closed

Pausing keeps everything already submitted. You can resume it.

The states a student's submission moves through

State What it means
Yet to Start They have not opened it
In Progress They are working in it
Submitted They have handed it in
Partially Evaluated Automatic marking is done, written answers wait
Evaluated Marking is finished
Unable to Auto Correct The program could not be run at all
Result Announced You have released their result
Reevaluation Requested They have asked you to look again

Two of these are easy to misread. Partially Evaluated is normal for any assessment mixing programs with written answers. Unable to Auto Correct means the marking did not happen, not that the student scored zero.

What next

Every setting on an assessment, and what each one changes.

If you are setting one for the first time, create an assessment walks through it as a task.
