How do I grade an assessment (i.e. test or quiz) using a rubric?
Go to Tests & Quizzes.
Select the Tests & Quizzes tool from the tool menu of your site.
From the Actions menu for the assessment you want to grade, select Scores.
Tip: You may also select the number in the Submitted column to go to the student submissions for an assessment.
There are two general methods for manual grading in Tests & Quizzes: you can grade one student’s entire assessment at a time or you can grade one question at a time, where you grade all students’ responses for a particular question at a time.
To grade one student at a time, select the student's name for the submission to be graded.
Select the Grading Rubric tab.
Select the appropriate rating level for each criterion.
The points will be added up automatically based on your rating selections. The total points earned will appear below the rubric.
(Optional) If you allowed individual score adjustments, you may fine tune the rating points if needed.
(Optional) Select the Comment icon [Leave a comment for the student about this criterion] if you would like to include additional feedback.
