Automatic scoring of Mastering assignments

Updated 19 Feb 2024

Almost all student responses are scored automatically in Mastering standard assignments, except for essay free-form text answers and Freehand Grader assignments which you must grade individually. You can adjust an assignment score for one or more students at any time.

Freehand Grader assignments are not standard assignments and are not scored automatically.
