What are hand graded marks?
Hand graded marks refer to scores that are manually entered by the instructor for questions that cannot be graded automatically by Akindi (eg. short answer, essay, or diagram-based questions).
These marks are added to the student’s multiple choice score to calculate their total grade.
How to enter hand graded marks?
1. Click 'View Results' on the desired assessment and go to the 'Responses' Tab.
2. Click 'Enter Hand Graded Marks' button.
3. Enter total the highest possible hand-graded mark and click 'Save'.
💡 This is the maximum number of marks a student can earn from hand-graded questions. For example, if there are 5 questions each worth 4 marks, enter '20' as the highest possible mark.
4. Enter the hand-graded mark for each student.
a) Search for the desired student by name or student ID.
Clicking 'Enter' on your keyboard will automatically move the cursor to the mark input field.
b) Enter the selected student's hand graded mark.
Clicking 'Enter' will automatically move the cursor back to the student search field.
Use the 'up' and 'down' keyboard arrow keys to switch between students.
5. Once the marks have been entered, click 'Save'.
Once hand graded marks have been entered, the 'Responses' tab will update to include the additional marks:
Total: The student’s overall score, which includes their multiple choice mark, hand-graded mark, and any manual grade adjustments.
MCQ Mark: The multiple choice score calculated by Akindi from the student’s bubble sheet.
Hand Mark: The score manually entered by the instructor for hand-graded questions (e.g. short answer or essay).'
💡 Akindi will always send 'Total' to the LMS grade book.
How to edit hand graded marks?
Individual student's hand graded marks can be edited directly from the 'Responses' tab, just like a spreadsheet.
1. Find the desired student and double click into the 'Hand mark' cell.
2. Enter the desired mark.
3. Click 'Save Changes'
To reopen the student search modal, click 'Enter Hand Graded Marks' button.
