-
Click the Grade button next to a student's work to get started.
- On the Grading page you'll see:
- The student's written work
- A Comments panel
- Sliders for the criteria of your chosen mark scheme
- An automatically calculated overall score and percentage - Highlight any portion of the text and click the Add Comment icon to give feedback or a correction. You can also optionally classify an error as spelling, grammar or vocab-related.
