Grades – How to prevent students scores from being seen on a Rubric until all students are graded

If you have your rubrics attached to an Assignment(s), first go to your Assignment

 

Next, click on the Assignment name

 

Click the Evaluate link beside a student submission

 

Click on the Rubric in the right half of the screen to show the rubric criteria.

 

Click on the slider buttons to evaluate the student using the rubric’s criteria.

 

Now click the Save Draft button.

 

Click the Next Student link on the top right corner of the screen to grade another student and keep doing this until everyone is graded.

 

As it is now, scores won’t show for the students in either the Assignment or in Grades. When you are ready to release the grades (Publish) here’s what to do.

To Release Grade to Students

Go into Assignments and click on the Assignment name.

 

Tick all the students (or click on the square tick box at the top of the list of students to select all of them.). To the far right of that upper tickbox is the Publish Feedback link, click on this to make a confirmation box appear.

Click Yes so that student can see their grade with the rubric criteria in both Assignments and in the Gradebook.

 

If your rubric is attached to a grade item in Grades (and not in the Assignment), you can hide that grade item and release it only when you have graded everything. Here is how:

 

Go into the Grades area

 

click on Manage Grades at the top

Click on the dropdown arrow next to the grade item and select “Hide from Users”, an eye icon with slash should appear on the grade item

 

Once hidden you can get out of the Manage Grades area go into the Enter Grades area

In Enter Grades, click the dropdown arrow beside the grade item and select “Enter Grades”

Click the icon in the Assessment column,

 

Now score the rubric by clicking on the appropriate criteria boxes, then click the Publish button. Don’t worry, although you are publishing the grade to the gradebook students cannot see their marks right now.

 

To Release Grade to Students

Once you have graded all the students you can make the marks visible to them by going back into Manage Grades, then clicking the dropdown arrow and selecting the Make Visible to Users option

 

With this students can now see their rubric marked grades
