Learning Catalytics automatic and manual scoring
If you assign point values to questions in a module, many student responses are scored automatically, based on correct answers stored with the questions. For responses that aren't scored automatically, the initial score is 0. You can manually mark the answer as correct, which results in awarding all points, if any, that you have allotted for that question.
Regardless of whether a response is graded automatically or manually, any correct response receives the number of points allotted for the question in the module, and any incorrect response receives 0 points. (Partial credit cannot be awarded.)
