Enterprise Portal: Grade a Performance Assessment or Assignment

This article explains how to use rubrics to grade assessments such as performances, presentations, clinical rounds, and uploaded assignments such as essays and research papers. An assessment can include one or more rubrics. You'll enter scores by referring to objective descriptors of the various performance levels. You can enter comments for each criterion. 


If this assessment involved an uploaded assignment and was posted with the Turnitin option enabled, the assessment screen will display Turnitin Similarity scores, and you'll have access to the full Turnitin Similarity Report during grading. For more information about Turnitin integration, see: Use Turnitin with Your Performance Assessments

 

Before You Begin

Create and post a Performance Assessment. See: Enterprise Portal: Create a Performance Assessment

Note: For assessments that require the students to upload a file, you can start grading after the upload deadline.

 

Procedure Overview

  1. Select the course and the assessment.
  2. Select the Grading tab.

    This page displays a list of exam-takers and any scores that have been entered so far by other graders. If this assessment was posted with the Turnitin option enabled, then the Similarity Scores also appear.

  3. (Optional) Scroll or search to find a particular person to evaluate.

    Note: For uploaded assignments, you might prefer to start with the first person in the list. After you open the grading form, you can navigate through the submitted assignments one by one.

  4. Select an exam-taker by clicking the name, the ID, or the arrow button on the right side of the page.
