Marking Guide

A Marking Guide is similar to a rubric without the performance continuum; it does not provide the level of feedback of a rubric.

Step 1

Under Grade options, select Marking Guide from the Grading Method drop down menu.

Step 2

Select Save and Display at the bottom of the settings window. This is the Advanced Grading page.

Note. Notice the Advanced grading link on the assignment menu. When you are inside an assignment, you can use this link to go directly to the Advanced Grading options rather than from the Assignment Settings.

 

Define the new grading form from scratch.

Step 3A

Once you name and describe the Marking Guide, you will be asked to edit the criterion name, write a description for students, and define the maximum score for the criterion.

When using a Marking Guide, it is a common best practice to show students guide definitions and marks per criterion. Additionally, you can add your most frequently used comments, which you will be able to select when grading.
