Teachers can access their PDF assignments for grading from several areas within the Gallopade Online Platform including the Needs Grading Widget, Assignments Due Widget, Assignment tab, and the Gradebook.

After clicking on the Assignment title from the Needs Grading widget, the page is navigated to the Grade by Student tab.

The Grade by Student Tab will display student's assignment submission, assignment notes entered along with assignment status. The non-interactive type of assignment has to be manually graded by the teacher. 

The scores can be keyed in using the Score textbox. After entering the Score, the assignment will be graded. 

The Grade by Question Tab will display an alert message for PDFs “There are no questions for this assignment. Please select the Grade By Student tab to view results.”

To learn more about the assignment details, teachers can navigate to the Preview Activity tab and explore the assignment details including how many students were assigned the resource, how many have submitted, and the assignment start and due date/time. 

In this area, teachers can also view the correlated standards by selecting the book icon   and view the resource description, instructional strategies, and when to use information by selecting the i icon .

At the top of the Summary tab, teachers will find the Assignment Summary.  This provides data on how many students were assigned the resource, how many have been graded, the lowest and highest scores, and how many total possible points / percentage the assignment was worth.

Assignment Summary Pointwise:

Assignment Summary Percentage-wise:

Immediately following the Assignment Summary, teachers will find a list of students who have been assigned the resource.  

For each student, teachers will be able to view the submit date & time, status, and scores (points / percentage) earned. 

Time

When a student submits the assignment, the date and time submitted will appear under the student's name.

Status

These may include Not Assigned, Not Started, Started, Submitted, and Graded.

Scores

The Original Score and Final Score both reflect points / percentage earned. When the assignment is marked graded, the Gradebook will reflect both points earned and percentage.

The Original Score is populated when teachers score the submission by entering the amount of points / percentage earned by the student on the Grading or Selected Student tabs.  

The Final Score cell allows teachers to adjust the student's final score without editing the original score.  If no final score is entered, the original score will populate in the Final Score cell automatically.  To edit the Final Score, the assignment must not be marked graded. The score displayed in the Final Score cell will be the score reflected in the Gradebook and to the student (if allowed.) The final score can also be given from the final score header which is applicable for the non-graded students.

Assignment Comments & Note From Student is used for communication related to the assignment. Teachers can leave feedback or directions for the student, and students (if allowed) can add notes back to the teacher when submitting their work. These comments do not affect the grade but remain attached to the assignment so both the teacher and the student can review them anytime.

Clicking the ‘View Notes’ link will display the student added Assignment notes.
