Edit students' grades

Introduction

While AI-powered grading systems like ours provide efficiency and consistency, they are not flawless. Educators play a crucial role in reviewing AI-generated feedback, making necessary adjustments, and providing deeper insights that technology alone cannot capture.

In GradeChum, we promote using our application as a grading assistant to ensure that teachers are still able to have full control over how students' grades are explained and finalized.

In this article, we will explore how we can edit students' grades after the activity was evaluated in GradeChum.

4. Finally, after reviewing the papers of your students, click the Release results button on your activity. Once the results are out, that button is replaced by Released on , with an Update link if you want to change what you released.

5. You may also opt to let your students request a regrade in the app: choose Yes, allow regrade requests or No. Choosing Yes adds a Regrade request deadline step. The last step, Select all details you wish to release to your students for this activity, lists Student's scores, Student's ranking, Student's answers, Activity questions and Activity answer key. If you allowed regrade requests, all of these except Student's ranking are released automatically.
