Add a grading scheme to your questions

With points per criterion, you can specify the steps a student needs to perform in order to get to the correct answer. To use the grading points per criterion, follow the steps below.

7. Click Save.
8. Click the add-icon.

If you use a rubric, you have the possibility to define levels (for example insufficient - sufficient - good), include a description and add points to each level.

1. Click the tab Grading scheme at the top of your assignment. Alternatively, click the button To grading scheme from within an exercise.
2. Go to the question for which you want to set the grading scheme.
3. Click the more_horiz-icon and click Edit.

9. Fill in the Level name*. 
10. Set the number of points.
11. Fill in the evaluation criterion description.
12. Click Save
13. Repeat this for all levels.

You can use the Calculate points button to calculate the maximum points. Ans will then add the points from the highest level here. Alternatively, you can manually set the maximum number of points. 

As you can see in the screenshot above, it is not possible to change the grading type after adding levels. Please delete all levels in order to change the grading type.

Reuse rubric level

When using rubric with levels in a hand-in assignment, it is possible to reuse the rubric levels in another question from within the same hand-in assignment. This is useful if you have multiple questions using this grading type that have a similar grading scheme.
