Your ability to perform these actions may depend on the privilege settings of your school. Please contact your school administrators if you do not have permission to perform certain actions.

The grading scheme is dependent on the question type. All closed-ended questions have their own type of grading scheme. Listed below are the closed question types that can be used. Click on the question type to find out how to add a grading scheme to each closed-ended question type.

Open-ended question types can be graded by using the grading types criteria, rubric or slider. Listed below are the open-ended question types that can be used.

To add a grading scheme to an exercise, follow the steps below.

Click the tab Grading scheme at the top of your assignment.
Go to the question for which you want to set the grading scheme.
Click the edit-icon.
Click the Scoring method.
Click the settings-icon for more grading options.
Click Update.

In addition to clicking on the Grading scheme tab, grading schemes for open-ended questions can also be set up directly in the Exercises tab by clicking the small dots. This allows creating and editing questions and their grading setup without switching tabs.

Scoring methods

Criteria

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

Click the tab Grading scheme at the top of your assignment.
Go to the question for which you want to set the grading scheme.
Click the edit-icon.
Set the maximum number of points.
Optionally, fill in the model answer.
Select Criteria.
Click on Add criteria to add a criterion. Fill in the Name and amount of Points, and finally the Evaluation criterion.
Optionally, you can add a criteria group by clicking on Add group. In Criteria, groups can represent different solution methods for a problem. Groups can be reordered but not placed above individual criteria. Moving or deleting a group also moves or deletes its criteria. Add a group, then add a criterion to place it in that group.
Click Save.

It is possible to duplicate criteria within the same question using the Duplicate button. This makes it easier to set up grading schemes that include multiple groups with identical criteria.

Rubric

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. You can select one level when grading. This is the main difference between points per criteria and rubrics with levels, as for criteria you can select multiple (or all) criteria.

Click the tab Grading scheme at the top of your assignment.
Go to the question for which you want to set the grading scheme.
Click the edit-icon.
Set the maximum number of points.
Optionally, formulate in the model answer.
Select Rubric as scoring method.
Click on Add criteria to add a criterion for the rubric. Fill in the Name, the Percentage and the Evaluation criterion.
Optionally, you can add a criteria group by clicking on Add group. In Rubric, groups can separate grading by topic (for example, spelling or structure). Groups can be reordered but not placed above individual criteria. Moving or deleting a group also moves or deletes its criteria. Add a group, then add a criterion to place it in that group.
Click Save.

It is possible to duplicate criteria within the same question using the Duplicate button. This makes it easier to set up grading schemes that include multiple groups with identical criteria.

Slider

With a slider, you can manually award the number of points between zero and the maximum points of the question. To use the grading type slider, follow the steps below.

Click the tab Grading scheme at the top of your assignment.
Go to the question for which you want to set the grading scheme.
Click the edit-icon.
Set the maximum number of points.
Optionally, fill in the model answer.
Select Slider.
Click Save.

error_outline With a slider, it is not possible to add manual adjustments during reviewing.

Grading scheme status

The grading scheme chip in an exercise allows you to see the number of questions with a completed grading scheme. If the grading scheme is incomplete or contains errors, you can hover over the chip to view the issues. It provides detailed feedback on errors for each specific question, offering clear guidance on what needs to be corrected. This makes it easier to identify and resolve grading issues directly within the interface.

lightbulb_outline The grading scheme can always be edited, even after the assignment has been finished. Adjustments remain possible at any time.

Restore removed criteria

When you delete a criterion or criterion group in the Exercises tab using the 'Criteria' or 'Rubric' scoring methods, it is not permanently removed right away. Instead, the item is moved to the Bin, allowing you to restore it later.

Follow the steps below to restore a deleted criterion.

Navigate to your assessment.
Click settings Settings in the top menu.
Click Removed criteria under 'Bin'.
Find the criterion or criterion group you want to restore.
Click Restore.
Click Confirm.

The criterion is restored to its original location. If the criterion was part of a criterion group, the associated group is automatically restored as well. Any results that used this criterion will be recalculated.
