However you can set up Mark all attempts to allow marking at various points in the assessment – this can allow feedback to be given on a piece of work and the student to improve the work based on the feedback.
When using mark All attempts you can choose from the Final mark calculation drop down menu to give the mark based on the average of all marks, the highest mark or the lowest mark.
Marking Multiple Attempts
When marking multiple attempts, the Needs Marking will show you the latest submission. If you are marking the Last attempt only, it will only show you these attempts in the needs marking workflow.
If marking multiple attempts, you can navigate between them using the Attempts drop down tab and refer to previous marks and feedback.
You are able to add feedback and a mark on all Attempts, navigating between student attempts and all other students needing work marked.
You will need to post the marks and feedback each time you wish students to review them.
Once the assessment has closed and all marks have been posted, the allocated highest, lowest or average mark will be shown in the Gradebook.
