How does an instructor enter scores for an external assessment test?

External assessment test scores are entered directly into the standards-based gradebook in the same manner as an assignment, which can be done one of two ways:

To enter scores individually:

  1. Go to Instructor Main > Standards-Based Scores
  2. Select the desired entry field
  3. Type in the student’s score
  4. Press Enter to save

To enter scores en masse:

  1. Go to Instructor Main > Standards-Based Scores
  2. Select the name of the assessment test across the top of the gradebook
  3. Enter scores
  4. Save

How does an instructor enter scores for an internal assessment test?

Scores for internal assessment tests are automatically calculated when a student takes the assessment, but require instructor review and verification before scores are displayed in the gradebook.  These scores are able to be reviewed and entered either by student or assessment test item.

To review assessment scores by student, follow these steps:

  1. Go to Instructor Main > Standards-Based Scores
  2. Select the name of the assessment test across the top of the gradebook
  3. Select the desired student on the left-hand side
  4. If the student has not turned in the assignment, you should force student to hand in the assignment now before grading
  5. Review answers and if necessary, enter or change the number of points awarded for each question. Scores for each learning target will be calculated based off which questions were answered correctly.
  6. When complete, choose Feedback Complete, Return to Student. If you would like to save your progress and return later, click Save & Continue.

To review assessment scores by assessment test item, follow these steps:

  1. Go to Instructor Main > Standards-Based Scores
  2. Select the name of the assessment test across the top of the gradebook
  3. Select the desired assessment test item number you’d like to review at the top of the screen
  4. Review responses and enter scores (1 if correct, 0 if incorrect, other as partial)
  5. Save & Goto Next Item
