Perform a grading task from a Question pane

Question panes in the traditional Gradebook allow you to perform a range of grading-related tasks beyond just viewing your student's response and grade for a specific question.

IMPORTANT: These functions are targeted at the traditional Gradebook. Similar functions are also available while using the new Grade Manager's Activity Grading View. Check out Access the Activity Grading View for an improved Gradebook experience when editing grades.

You'll have access to these Question pane functions after you've performed a Gradebook search (check out Search for class grades) and selected a specific student's attempt to view (check out View student grade details).

The grading tasks that you can perform from a Question pane are:

• Preview the question
• View the grading history
• Edit the question's overall grade
• Bulk edit the overall grade for multiple questions
• Edit the question's part grade
• Regrade a question
• Add a grading comment

NOTE: Some question types (Example — essay questions, document upload questions, and Math Apps designed to be manually graded) can't be automatically graded by Möbius and won't display the student's achieved overall or part grades. These question types require you to perform manual grading to assign the student's overall and part grades. Check out Access the Activity Grading View for the new Grade Manager for manual grading or Perform manual grading to use the traditional Gradebook for manual grading.
