<p>The first table on this screen shows how the the overall grades for the
4
submissions are calculated. The overall grades are a weighted sum of
7
<ol><li>The teacher's grade for the student's (initial) assessment of their own work.
8
This can be termed the "grading grade". Once the student has
9
submitted their work the assessment is not revised. The student is NOT asked
10
to re-assess their work each time they resubmit their work. The grade given to
11
student's assessment is relavant to the student's performance but it is not as
12
important as the (teacher's) assessment of the work. In general it should be
13
given a lower weight than...
14
<li>The grade given by the teacher to the student pieces of work. These
15
assessments are the normally the main assessment element of an exercise
16
assignment. When the students are allowed to make
17
more than one submission the teacher can decide whether the final grade
18
for the exercise should be the average grade of a student's submissions or
19
the grade from the student's best submission.
22
<p>These two components are weighted as deemed appropriate for the
23
assignment. The teacher can, for example, weight the (initial) assessment grade
24
(the grading grade) very low, even zero. In this case the student grade is
25
determined largely by or entirely by the grades given to their submissions. The
26
two weighting factors can be changed at any time during the exercise, the effect
27
of any change on the grades seen in the Grades page and in the Final Grades
28
list is immediate.</p>
30
<p>The second table is used to set the two options for the League Table. This table
31
is (optionally) shown to the students at the end of the assignment. If the
32
number of entries is set to a number larger than zero then the table is
33
displayed to the student when the assignment is in its final phase. The other
34
option determines whether student names are shown in the table. Note the League
35
Table as seen by the teacher always shows studnet names regardless of this setting.
37
<p>The Administration page also lists the teacher's submissions (the decriptions of
38
the Exercise), the students' (initial) assessment of their own work, and the students'
39
submissions. These tables allow all these items, where appropriate, to be re-titled,
40
deleted, viewed or re-assessed. This part of the page can be used to monitor the
41
students' progress throughout the course of the exercise.

<p align="center"><b>Administration Page</b></p>
3
<p>This page allows the teacher to see the one or more descriptions for the
4
Exercise, the student assessments and the student submissions. These items
5
can be retitled, viewed or deleted by using the various links on the page.
6
The page also shows which piece of works have been submitted after the
7
deadline, that is those submitted late.</p>
9
<p>The first table on this screen shows the teacher's submission(s). Normally
10
there is only one. This is the decsription of the exercise, it will
11
normally contain instructions on what work should be done. If the teacher
12
has submitted more then one description they are listed here. Note that
13
once the Exercise is underway these submissions should <b>NOT</b> be
14
deleted. It is, however, safe to delete the teacher submissions while the
15
Exercise is still in the Set Up phase.</p>
17
<p>The second table shows the student's (initial) assessment of their own work.
18
It shows the grade the student has given their work. If the teacher has
19
assessed the work, this table will also contain the "grading
20
grade" awarded to his assessment. This grade reflects how well the
21
student's assessment agrees with the teacher's assessment. The student's
22
assessment can be viewed. There is link on that page to change the grading
23
grade should the teacher wish to do so.</p>
25
<p>The third table lists the submissions and their grades if the teacher has
26
assessed them. Submissions can be regraded or safely deleted. An asterix
27
(*) against a submission means that the student is allow to submit another
28
piece of work. For a particular student, this option can be easily changed
29
by simply re-assessing their submission and clicking on the appropriate
30
button at the foot of the assessment page, the assessment itself need not
31
be changed. Late work is shown with the date submitted in red. The late
32
flag can be cleared by clicking on the link.</p>
