If you are new to Webcourses@UCF and would like some additional practice with grading, feel free to complete the optional activity below. If you have follow-up questions about how to grade assignments, please consult with your instructional designer.

Build Your Own Assessment: Part 2

In Week 4, you completed the Build Your Own Assessment activity by developing an assessment (Assignment, quiz, discussion, etc.) in your development section. For this optional activity, you will assume the student role and actually take this assessment, and then grade it as a teacher.

If you would like to complete this activity, please follow the steps below:

1. Access your IDL development course.
2. Access the Student View, which allows you to view your course as a student would.
3. Click the assessment you created for the Build Your Assessment activity (Assignment, discussion, quiz, etc.).
4. Take the assessment.
5. Leave Student View.
6. Review the grading options. Click Grades and look for the Test Student in the Gradebook. To grade the assessment through Speedgrader, click the Assignment/Quiz and click Speedgrader. Review the IDL pages about Grades and Speedgrader for additional assistance.

As you gain more experience grading in Webcourses@UCF, you will get a sense of the preferred way to grade certain activities. In general, the Speedgrader is helpful in grading individual papers and discussions, while the Gradebook is convenient when you are manually entering in grades such as attendance points from a face-to-face class meeting.
