Course Management 

The links at the bottom allow you to control the workgroup. The  Amend Assessment  

Elements  link takes you back to where you can modify the elements, the scoring, and 

the weights. The  Administration  link allows you to evaluate student evaluations, papers, 

and so on. 

The 6 stages near the bottom (tabs) allow you to control the pacing of the workgroup. 

Fig. 31 shows each stage:  

     Set Up Assignment as the current stage. To move to one of the next stages, click 

on the stage you want. 

     Allow Student Submissions allows student to submit papers, but they can not 

evaluate other papers.  

     Allow Student Submissions and Assessments allows students to upload their 

papers and to assess other papers.  

     Allow Student Assessments does not allow students to upload papers, but does 

allow them to assess other papers.   

     Calculation of Final Grades allows you to make changes to the grades.  

     Show Final Grades allows students to see their grades. You can move between 

stages at any time (you can skip from stage 1 to stage 3 and back to stage 2 if you 

wanted to). 

What an accumulative evaluation looks like: 

At this point, it might be useful to see what a student would see for an evaluation. For the 

accumulative evaluation from above, a student would see something like Fig. 32. 

Not Graded Grading Strategy 

This grading strategy is used for peer 

comments only. You may still have as 

many  elements  as  you  like,  but  each          

Fig. 32 

elements only has a comments section  

numerical evaluation is not present.  

Fill  in  each  element  field  with  a               

description  to  guide  the  reviewer's          

comments  (e.g.   Discuss  the  strength  or        

weakness of the thesis statement. ) When 

you have filled in all of the elements, click 

on  Save changes.   The system then 

follows  the  same  steps  as  above            

(see the Accumulative Grading Strategy 

section above). 

Error Banded Grading Strategy 

This grading strategy is based entirely on 

yes/no responses for the evaluation. Each 

element is set up with a yes/no system. 

When you first click on the workgroup, 

you should see something like Fig. 33. 

Fig. 33 

In  addition,  there  is  a  Grade  Table              

(Fig. 34) to set up at the bottom of the 

page. The grade table allows the teacher 

to set up suggested grades based on the 

number of  No  answers recorded by the 

reviewer. The Grade Table does not have to be linear (our example takes off 5 for the 

first  No,  10 for the second  No,  and 15 for the third  No. ). These are only suggested 

grades   the reviewer may modify the grade up or down by as many as 20 points (stress 

to the students they should have good reasons for changing suggested grades).
