Managing Grading in a Test

Introduction

An administrator can set the different grade ranges in the grading screen.

You can create assessments by combining manual and auto-generated grades. For example, an essay question cannot be graded automatically by LearnFlex. A message will be shown explaining that the final grade is pending the administrator’s manual input for certain question types.

Use this section to add, edit, or delete grade ranges within a test. You are NOT restricted to a simple A, B, C, and so on.

Note: Use this section simply to specify the grade equivalents to actual marks. The minimum passing grade, and the value (percentage, letter grade, or number) is specified in the session details.

Note: Percentage grades on this screen are displayed as stored in the database, with a maximum of two decimal places, rounded to two decimal places if applicable. See the Grade Precision Overview for more details.

Procedure

2.      Locate the test that you want to manage.

3.      Select Grading.

Note: This left-hand side menu for a test is displayed when security setting 253: Grading is enabled.
