Manual Grading is a Paid Socrative feature that allows teachers to change how responses of short answer questions are marked after a quiz has finished.
✍️ Manual grading is only available for short answer questions and is not available for multiple choice questions or other question types.
Manual Grading
Teachers can manually grade short answer questions within the results table after finishing a quiz. To do this, ensure the quiz is finished and select the response you would like to manually grade.
Marking Answers as Correct
In the menu that appears, you can mark the answer as correct by selecting the checkmark icon.
Marking Answers as Incorrect
You can also mark the answer as incorrect by selecting the "X" icon.
Assigning Partial Marks
You can assign partial marks by selecting the "/" icon and entering the point value you would like to give for this response.
Additional Options and Navigation
Within the manual grading menu you can also:
Undo manual grading by selecting "Undo".
Use the up and down arrows to move to the next student's response for efficient grading.
Click Done to save your selection.
Manually Graded Responses in Results and Reports
Responses that have been manually graded will appear with the top right corner folded over. If a response receives partial marks, the cell will appear yellow in the results table.
When a response is given partial marks, the points allocated will also be reflected in the Complete Results Excel report.
