- Submission timestamps
- Pre/post survey results
(Watch the video to understand points or read the article below to learn more about different types of data.)
Types of student progress data:
-
# correct
-
This number displays how many assessments the student got correct out of the total number of auto-graded assessments in the assignment. For example, "12/14" would mean a student answered 12 auto-graded assessments correctly out of 14 total auto-graded assessments in an assignment. Auto-graded assessments include yes/no, multiple choice, and matching questions.
Please note: the # correct does not include teacher-evaluable assessments.
To learn more about teacher-evaluable assessments, visit the evaluating student work article.

On your Dashboard, click "Manage" next to "Students."
Then, click on "View work" next to any student in your class roster.

# of points
-
This number displays how many points the student earned out of the total number of points a student can earn completing an assignment. Students are awarded points for successfully answering assessment questions as they navigate through lessons, challenges, exercises, and missions in their assigned course. The number of points a student can earn depends in part on the type of assessment question they are answering.
How are points calculated?How do students earn points?
Different types of assessment questions are associated with different levels of points:
- Quick answer questions (e.g. multiple choice) = students can earn up to 10 points
- Written response questions (e.g. solo sentence) = up to 25 points
- Student uploads = up to 100 points
Students can also receive points for activity on their class Discuss Wall. By posting on a class discuss wall, a student can earn 10 points. Some assessments in lessons are teacher evaluable (including written response questions and student uploads), meaning you can grade them by giving students full, half, or no credit for their answers. The level of credit a student earns impacts the amount of points they receive for that assessment question.
How do I know how many points a student can earn?
When viewing your course, you can see the cumulative total of the number of points a student can earn by successfully completing each lesson, challenge, exercise, or mission. For example, the "Be Health Informed" lesson is worth 155 points because it contains 8 quick answer questions (worth 10 points each) and 3 written response questions (worth 25 points each).
You can also see how many points your course is worth cumulatively by clicking on "Manage" next to "Students" and then finding the column entitled "Points" on the student management screen. Here you will see how many points a student has earned in their assigned course out of how many total points the course is worth.

Status

- Complete = The green check icon means the assignment has been submitted and that you have either completed grading or there are no teacher-evaluable assessments for you to evaluate.
- In Review = The orange dots icon means the assignment has been submitted by the student but it still has assessments that need to be evaluated by you.
- Not started yet = The status box will be empty to indicate either that the student has not yet begun the assignment or has begun, but not yet submitted the assignment.

- Post-Assessment: Only post-assessments responses from students.
