How to record an assessment result

What it's for

An assessment is a graded item — a test, quiz, assignment, project, or exam. Recording an assessment result captures a student's score so it's on their record and can appear in their progress report. This is one of the two ways to record progress; the other is skill progress (see *How to update a student's skill progress*).

Where to find it

Go to Learning → Student Progress and use the Add Grade button.

Step-by-step

1. Go to Learning → Student Progress.
2. Click Add Grade, then choose Single Student (or Batch Entry to grade several students at once).

1. In the Add Grade Entry dialog, choose the student.
2. Pick the assessment type — Test, Quiz, Assignment, Project, Performance, Practical, Midterm, Final, or Participation — and, if you use it, a weight %.
3. Enter the assessment name (for example "Term 1 Skills Test").
4. Choose a grade type — Numeric, Letter Grade, or Pass / Fail — and enter the score (and max score).
5. (Optional) Add notes or feedback.

1. Click Save. The result is recorded against the student.

Tips & limits

• Batch Entry lets you record the same assessment for many students in one go.
• The assessment type describes the kind of graded item; the assessment name is the specific one.
• Recorded results feed into the student's progress report (see *How to generate and send progress reports*).
• This records a score; to record how a student is mastering a skill, use skill progress instead (see *How to update a student's skill progress*).
