How grading works

Updated 19 Feb 2024

Almost all assignment items are automatically scored, so students can get a sense of their progress, and instructors can be relieved of the burden of manually scoring student work.

Freehand Grader assignments and essay questions are not scored automatically—you need to grade these.

Assignment work is saved if students take a break. All of their submitted answers are saved, even if they suddenly lose their internet connection while working an assignment. Students can finish the assignment later as long as it is still available to them in the course. For a timed assignment, there must also be time left on the timer.
