Chapter 8
Grade for submission is the maximum number of points that a student can be given
by the grader.
Grade for assessments is the grade that the student receives for grading other
submissions. This grade is based on how close the assessment by the student is to
the average of all assessments for that same submission. For example, Student A
submits work. Students B, C, and D assess the work and give scores of 10, 9, and 5.
The average assessment is 8, so students B and C would receive higher marks for
their assessments than student D. In essence, the Grade for assessments is the "grade
for grading".
If you did not enable Use peer assessment under Workshop features, then this
grade is irrelevant.
Grading strategy
A workshop assignment is quite flexible in the type of grading scheme used. This
setting determines the overall scheme. The various options for this setting are
described below.
Accumulative
In the Accumulative grading strategy, the grade for each element is added upto
arrive at the accumulated grade. This style of grading allows you to present the
reviewer with a numeric scale. You can also present the reviewer with Yes or No
questions, such as "Does this workshop meet the requirement?". Or you can present
the reviewer with a grading scale, such as "Poor, Fair, Good, or Excellent". If you
use a Yes or No or a grading scale, you will assign a point value to each response.
Consider informing the reviewer of the value of each response. For example, instead
of just writing:
• Poor
• Fair
• Good
• Excellent
Consider writing:
• Poor (1 point)
• Fair (2 points)
• Good (3 points)
• Excellent (4 points)
