Reviewing Student Grades

To review a specific student’s attempt, select the Graded tab. You’ll find a list of students who have taken the exam along with details such as:

  • Number of attempts per student
  • Completion time (hours and minutes)
  • Score and awarded points for each attempt
  • For self-study exams, if multiple attempts are allowed, student scores reflect the scoring option selected (e.g., highest score).

Use the Review Attempts button to examine each attempt in more detail. Options include:

  • Delete or Reopen Attempt: Reopening an attempt allows the student to change answers, and if timed, restarts the timer.
  • Adjust Question Scoring: Modify points as needed.
  • View as Student: See the exam from the student’s perspective.

Note: Be cautious when reopening or deleting attempts, as deleted attempts cannot be retrieved.

Activity Tracking

The Activity button provides two types of activity data:

  • Basic Activity: Date, time, and name of users who accessed the exam, with a general activity description.
  • Advanced Activity: Detailed information about each user’s actions within the exam.
