How do I view discussion posts for grading?

  • You can assign discussion grades to evaluate participants on performance in each thread. When you create or edit a forum, you can enable thread grading options and a Grade Center column is created automatically.
  • Students cannot create new threads in a forum where threads are graded.
  • You can create rubrics and refer to them while grading threads, but you must create and associate the rubrics in advance.
  • After accessing the user's threads to grade, follow the steps outlined in the previous section for inline forum grading
    1. Access the discussion forum containing a thread you want to grade.
    2. On the thread listing page, in List View, click Grade Thread in the thread's row.
    3. On the Grade Discussion Thread Users page, click Grade in a user's row with a number in the Posts column.
    4. On the Grade Discussion Thread page, a collection of the student's posts made to the graded thread appears. Since you can assign a thread grade based on multiple messages, all messages posted by a student are included for review. On the action bar, click Print Preview to open the page in a new window in a printer-friendly format. Posts print in the order they appear on the page. To select which posts appear and in which order, you can filter and sort posts using the Filter function and the Sort By and Order drop-down lists on the action bar.
    5. Provide a grade, feedback, and grading notes. After clicking Submit, the information is added to the Grade Center. The grade appears on the Grade Discussion Thread Users page.
