<P>After the teacher has submitted the examples it is useful from the

teacher's point of view to assess these examples, if only partially.

These assessments are private to the teacher, they are NOT shown

to the students at any stage during the assignment. They are,
|

however, useful when the teacher looks at the student assessments

of the examples. When grading a student assessment, the teacher
|

sees their own assessment at the top of the page and the

student's assessment of the same piece of work at the bottom of
|
||||
the page. The "extra" assessment acts as a reference
|

source and a reminder of the salient points held in the example.

<P>In general the teacher will want to assess the work submitted by the

<P>The grades from these assessments can be used

in two ways in the final grade calculation. Firstly, the grade itself can be

used as a (weighted) component in the final grade. Secondly, these

grades can optionally be added into the pool of peer assessments and

used as a "calming factor" if it felt that the student

assessments are too high or too low.

<P>If the students are required to assess some example pieces of work
|
||||
before submitting their own work, the teacher uses this link to submit
|
||||
that work. The teacher can submit any number of pieces of work. If the
|
||||
number of pieces of work is greater than the number of example
|
||||
assessments each student must make, then the work is allocated in a
|
||||
random but balanced fashion. The system tries to assure that each of
|
||||
the examples is allocated to the students the same number of times.
|
||||
The allocation is random in that if, say, ten examples are submitted then
|
||||
it is highly unlikely that the first student is allocated submissions
|
||||
1, 2 and 3 to assess.</P>
|
||||
|

<P>If the teacher submits a fewer number of examples than given
|

in the corresponding parameter of the assignment, the students
|

are given just those examples to assess.</P>

<P><B>Assessment of Student Submissions</B> These are the peer assessments
|
||||
made by students on eachother's work. In general, these assessments do NOT
|
||||
have to be graded by the teacher. Provided each of the student submissions is
|
||||
assessed about five times, the system can make a reasonable judgement on
|
||||
the inidivual assessment performance of the students. When the number of
|
||||
peer assessments is low then the teacher may want to grade these
|
||||
assessments. Any grades given to the assessments can be taken into account
|
||||
when calculating the final grades for the students.

<P><B>Assessments of Teacher Submissions</B> These are assessments of
|
||||
the example pieces of work which the assignment may require the students
|
||||
to make before they can submit their own work. These assessments should,
|
||||
in general, be graded by the teacher. The assessments will show whether the
|
||||
student understand the assignment and will provide possibly useful feedback
|
||||
to the teacher on whether any remedial action or fine tuning of the
|
||||
assignment is necessary. Further, if an assessment is graded the teacher's
|
||||
comments are made available to the student. These may provide valuable
|
||||
guidance to the student in the preparation of their own piece of work for
|
||||
the assignment. </P>
|
||||
|
||||
<P>These assessments do not have to be graded. Leaving a student's
|
||||
assessment of the examples ungraded when NOT stop that student from
|

submitting their own work. It is recommended, however, that all least a
|
||||
sample of the assessments are graded for the reasons mentioned above.</P>
