Single-answer questions allow one and only one answer to be chosen. - Generally all the grades for such a question should be positive. - -

Multiple-answer questions allow one or more answers to be chosen - each answer - may carry a positive or negative grade, so that choosing ALL the options - will not necessarily result in good grade. If the total grade is negative - then the total grade for this question will be zero. Careful, it is - possible to create questions that have scores greater than 100%. - -

Finally, each answer (right or wrong) should include feedback - this feedback - will be shown to the respondent next to each of their answers (if the quiz - itself is configured to show feedback). -

Agreement of Assessments

- -

A workshop assignment can have either of these characteristics: - -

    -
  1. In the submission and assessment phase when the students see the - assessments made by other students there is no feedback - from the students who submitted the work to the students who made - the assessment. There may be feedback from the teacher if the teacher - choses to grade the student assessments and then the teacher's grades and - comments will be available to both the student whose work it is and - to the student who made the assessment. There will be, however, - be only one way feedback between peers on any one piece of work. - -
  2. In the submission and assessment phase the students see the - assessments made by other students and they are allowed to comment - on these assessments. They may agree or disagree with the (peer) assessment. - If they agree with the assessment then the assessment stands and is - used in the final calculations when determining the peer grade given to - the particular piece of work. If, however, they do not agree with an - assessment the student who made the assessment is given an - opportunity to revise it. The revise/disagree loop can continue until - either agreement is reached or the deadline is reached. An assessment - which is still in "dispute" when the deadline is reached - is not used in the final calculations. This gives two way feedback - between peers on each piece of work. -
-

If the second method of working is chosen there is the option of switching off the display - of grades. That is, if this "hide grades" option is exercised, only the comments - in the assessment are shown to the student who work is being assessed. - The grades are shown only after agreement has been reached (on the - comments alone). Note that this option only effective when agreement on - assessments is required. - -

Anonymous Grading

When the peer graded assignment is not graded anonymously, the - pieces of work are shown with the names (and any photos) of the - students who submitted the work. This may lead to bias in the gradings. - -

Peer Graded Assignment Type

    -
  1. Only feedback on the assessment elements and the general comment - is entered. The grading of assessment elements is not seen in the - grading pages. Assignments themselves are not given an overall grade. - However, the grading performance of the students is measured and - this, and only this measure contributes towards the final grades given - to the students. - -
  2. Here the teacher and peers are asked to provide both feedback and - grades. The assignments are given an overall quantative grade as well - as the qualative data. The final grade for a student will be calculated - from the (weighted) contributions of the teacher's grade, the mean - peers' grade and the student's grading performance. - -

The Breakdown of the Final Grade

- -

The table on this screen shows your final grade and how it was calculated. - The final grade is made up from three possible components. - -

    -
  1. The teacher's grade for your submitted work. -
  2. The average of the peer grades for your submitted work. -
  3. A grade for your performance in the peer grading phase. This - performance was based by (a) whether your grades were too high or too low - when compared with the average grade of the other students (this is called bias), - (b) whether your grades follow, again on average, the grades given by - the other students (this is called reliability) - and (c) on the quality of your comments on the other pieces of work you graded. - This was graded by the teacher. These three performance grades were weighted - by the factors 1:2:3 respectively to give an overall "grading" - grade. In other words the teacher's grading of the comments is given the - same weight as the Bias and Reliability factors combined. -
- -

These three components can be weighted as deemed appropriate for the - assignment. These weights are shown in the smaller table. -

The Calculation of the Final Grade

- -

The table on this screen shows how the the final grades for the students - are calculated. The final grades are a weighted sum of up to five components. - -

    -
  1. The teacher's grade for their submitted work. This is optional and will be - used if the teacher actually assesses the student's work. If the student submits - more than one peice of work the "best" grade is used. Here, best - means the piece of work with the highest weighted combination of teacher's - grade and peer grade... -
  2. The average of the peer grades for their submitted work. Again if the student - submits more than one peice of work the "best" grade is used. The - peer grade can optionally - include the teacher's grade. This grade would be included if the number of - peer gradings is very low or it is thought that the peer gradings are suspect - either because of bias (usually on the high side) or for not being reliable. - If included the teacher's grade is treated in the same way as a peer grade in - the calculation of the average. -
  3. The student's bias in grading peer work. This is measure of whether the - student grades work either too high or too low. It is not an absolute measure - as it is based on the difference between the student's grade and the peer - averages for each of the submissions they assessed. In general this component - should NOT be given a high weighting. -
  4. The student's reliability in grading peer work. This is a measure on how well - a students grades follow the peer average for the peices of work they - assessed. The measure discounts the student bias and averages the absolute - differences between their grades and the peer average grades. In theory if - the students gives high marks for good peices of work and low marks for poor - pieces of work their reliability will be high. If it is suspected that the students in - general are poor assessors then the teacher's grades should be included into - the ppeer averages, this should make the reliability values more meaningful. -
  5. The average grade given by the teacher for the student's assessments. - This includes both the preliminary assessments made by the student on the - example pieces of work and any grading the teacher makes on the asessments - produced during the peer assessement phase of the assignment. In general this - component is probably more important than both the Bias and Reliability - components and thus, if available, should be weighted higher. -
- -

These five components can be weighted as deemed appropriate for the - assignment. For example the teacher's grade might be weighted strongly - if the peer grading part of the assignment is only considered a minor part - of the assignment as a whole. Alternatively, if the teacher only grades a few - of the submissions these grades can be ignored by giving them a zero weighting. - If the assignment is all about the students as judges and the providing of feedback - then first two components may be set to zero (or low) and the students' - grading abilities will determine the final grades. - -

Note that this screen is used iteratively and the final grades are not normally - made available to the students until the final phase of the assignment. Once the - the teacher is happy with the final grades and their weightings then they can - be made available to the students. -

Assignment Elements

- -

For ease of grading, a Workshop Assignment should have a reasonable - number of "Assessment Elements". Each element should cover - a particular aspect of the assignment. Typically an assignment will have - something between 5 to 15 elements for comments and grading, the - actual number depending on the size and complexity of the assignment. A peer - assignment with only one element is allowed and has a similar assessment - strategy to the standard Moodle Assignment. - -

The type of elements dependent of the assignment's grading strategy. - -

Not Graded. The elements are descriptions of aspects of the assignment. - The assessor is asked to comment on each of these aspects. As with all the grading - strategies, there is also an area for general comments. - - -

Accumulative Grading. The elements have the following three features: -

    -
  1. The DESCRIPTION of the assessment element. This should clearly state what - aspect of the assignment is being assessed. If the assessment is qualatative - it is helpful to give details of what is considered excellent, average - and poor. - -
  2. The SCALE of the assessment element. There are a number of prefined - scales. These range from simple Yes/No scales, through multipoint scales to - a full percentage scale. Each element has its own scale which should be choosen - to fit the number of possible variations for that element. Note that the scale - does NOT determine the element's importance when calculating the overall - grade, a two point scale has the same "influence" as a 100 point - scale if the respective elements have the same weight... - -
  3. The WEIGHT of the assessment element. By default the elements are given the same - importance when calculating the overall grade of the assignment. This can be - changed by giving the more importance elements a weight greater than one, and - the less important elements a weight below one. Changing the weights does NOT - effect the maximum grade, that value is fixed by the Maximum Grade parameter - of the peer assignment. Weights can be assigned negative values, this is an - experimental feature. -
-

Error Banded Grading. The elements will normally describe certain items - or aspects which must be present in the assignment. The assessment is made on the - present or absence of these items or aspects. The teacher must all set of grade table which - give the suggested grades when all the items are present, when one is absent, when two are - absent, etc. If certain items are more important than others then those items can be given - a weighting greater than one. Minor items can be given a weighting less than one. The - overall "error count" is a weighted sum of the missing items. The assessor - can always make a minor adjustment to these suggested grades. - -

Criteria Grading. The elements will give a set of "level" statements -which can be used to rank the assignment. The statements may be cumulative or they may -each be self contained. The assessor must decide which statement best fits each piece of -work. The teacher must also relate each criterion statement with a suggested grade. These -should normally be in order. The assessor can make a minor adjustment to these -suggested grades. -

Grading Strategy

- -

    -
  1. No grading: In this type of assignment the teacher is not - interested in quantative assessment from the students at all. The students - make comments of the pieces of works but not grade them.

    1. The DESCRIPTION of the assessment element. This should clearly state what - aspect of the assignment is being assessed. If the assessment is qualatative - it is helpful to give details of what is considered excellent, average - and poor. - -
    2. The SCALE of the assessment element. There are a number of prefined - scales. These range from simple Yes/No scales, through multipoint scales to - a full percentage scale. Each element has its own scale which should be choosen - to fit the number of possible variations for that element. Note that the scale - does NOT determine the element's importance when calculating the overall - grade, a two point scale has the same "influence" as a 100 point - scale if the respective elements have the same weight... - -
    3. The WEIGHT of the assessment element. By default the elements are given the same - importance when calculating the overall grade of the assignment. This can be - changed by giving the more importance elements a weight greater than one, and - the less important elements a weight below one. Changing the weights does NOT - effect the maximum grade, that value is fixed by the Maximum Grade parameter - of the peer assignment. Weights can be assigned negative values, this is an - experimental feature. -
    - -
  3. Error Banded Grading: In this type of assignment the submissions are - graded on a set of Yes/No scales. The grade is determined by the "Grade - Table " which gives the relationship between the number of - "errors" and the suggested grade. For example an assignment may have six - significant items which should be present, the Grade Table will give suggested - grades if all are present, one is absent, if two are absent, etc. The individual - items can, if desired, be given weighting factors if some items are more important - than others. The number of "errors" is a weighted sum of the items not - present. By default each item is given a weight of one. The grading table is likely - to be non-linear, for example - the sugested grades may be 90%, 70%, 50%, 40%, 30%, 20%, 10%, 0%, 0%, 0% for - an assignment with 10 items.The assessor can adjust the suggested grade by up - to 20% either way to give the submission's final grade. - -
  4. Criteria Grading: This is simpliest type of assessment to grade (although - not necessarily the most straightforward to set up). The submissions are - graded against a set of criteria statments. The assessor choses which statement - best fits the piece of work. The grade is determined by a "Criteria - Table" which gives the suggested grade for each criterion. For example - an assignment may be set up with, say, five criteria statements and the assessors - must then choose one of the five statements for each of their assessments. As with - the Banded assignment the assessor can adjust the suggested grade by up to - 20% to give the final grade. -

Including Self in the Assignment

A peer graded assignment can optionally include the student's own work - in the set of pieces each student is asked to grade. This will mean that if, say, the - number of peer assessors is 5, then each student will be asked to grade 6 - pieces of work, one of them being their own work. - -

Managing a Workshop Assignment

- -

A Workshop Assignment is more complex than an ordinary assignment. - It involves a number of steps or phases. These are -

    -
  1. The assessment of the assignment should be broken into a number - of assessment ELEMENTS. This makes the grading of an assignment less - arbitary and gives the students a framework on which to make assessments. - The teacher has the role of setting up the assessment elements thus making a - grading sheet. (See that page for more details.) - -

    With the assessment elements set up the teacher will normally submit a - small number of example pieces of work. These are practice pieces for the - students to assess before preparing their own pieces of work. However, - before the assignment is made available to students, these example - pieces should be assessed by the teacher. This provides the students - with not only examples for the assignment but also specimen assessments - on those examples. -

    The submission of example pieces of work by the teacher is optional - and for certain assignments may not be appropriate. - -

  2. The assignment is now opened to the students. If the teacher has set up - example pieces of work the students can be asked to assess a number of these. - In this case, the teacher must grade these assessments and the students must - reach a satisfactory standard before they are allowed submit their own work. - Here, a "satisfactory standard" has been set at 40%. Once a student - has "passed" the required number of assessments they are free to - submit their own work. -

    When a student submits a piece of work the teacher can, if desired assess that - work. This assessment can be incorporated into the student final grade. These - assessments, if they are required, can take place either during the submission - phase of the assignment or after the submission deadline. -

    If the assignment incorporates peer assessment, students who have submitted - work are shown other students' work to assess. When they have made an assessment - their peer can see that assessment (but the other student cannot comment on it.) - The teacher, however, can, if desired, grade the assessment and that score is taken - forward towards the student's final grade. - -

  3. After the deadline has passed, the teacher moves the assignment to the next phase - where further submissions and assessments by students are not allowed. The teacher - can, if wished, grade the peer assessments made by the students. This is not really - necessary as provided a reason number of assessments have been made on each - submission the "grading performance" of each student can be - determined from the relative scores. The teacher now calculates the final grades - of the students. These final grades are normally made up of three components, - teacher's grade of the student's work, mean peer grade of the student's work - and the student's grading performance. The last can include the mean "grading - grade" entered by the teacher against a student's comments. These three - components are given weights by the teacher before the calculation of the final - grades takes place. - -
  4. The final phase of the assignment is entered to allow the students to see their - final grades. The teacher can, be desired, backtrack the assignment to allow some - adjustment of, say, the weights used in the final grade calculation, the revised - grades can then be shown to the students. -

Number of Assessments of Student submissions

- -

This number determines whether the students are asked to peer assess - other students' work. If it is - not zero then each student is offered that number of pieces - of work from other students. After assessment the originator of the work - can view the comments and possibly the grade given by their peer. - (The peer assessment process may be iterative depending on the setting of - "Agree Assessments" option.) The teacher can also, - if desired, grade these assessments and those grades can be used in the calculation of - the final marks. The student is shown the teacher's comments and grade - for each of their assessments if available. -

Number of Comments, Elements, Bands or Criteria

- -

The number entered here determines how many items will be used in - the assessments. Depending on the type of grading strategy, this number - gives the number of comments, assessments elements, bands or criteria - to be used in the assessments. Typically an assignment will have - something between 5 to 15 assessment items, the - actual number depending on the size and complexity of the assignment. - -

All assessments have a General Comments field. For a "No - Grading" assignment the value given here determines the - number of additional comment areas. It can be specified as zero and results - in the assessment having only a single General Comments area. - -

Number of Peer Assessors

- -

A peer graded assignment will normally have around 3 to 8 peer - assessors. That is, in the peer grading phase, each student will be - asked to grade this number of pieces of work from the other students - in the class. The larger the assignment is, in terms of content, the - smaller this number should be, else the grading burden on the - students becomes onerous. However, each student should see sufficient - examples to gain an insight into what constitutes a good piece of work - and a poor piece of work. Further for the grading performance of a - student to be assessed meaningfully the greater the number of peer - gradings the better. This performance is unlikely to be valid if only three - or four gradings are done by each student. - -

Provided there is enough pieces of work submitted (actually 10 or - more), the system will allocate each student at least one "good" and - at least one "poor" piece of work. However, this can only be done if the - teacher has graded the pieces of work BEORE the allocation of (peer) grading - work is done. The teacher does NOT, however, have to grade all the - pieces of work, a sample is sufficient. Further, the teacher's gradings need - NOT be the final gradings, a preliminary grading is good enough. Note, - however, that if the option to show teacher's gradings is turned on, - these gradings will be shown to the students at the end of the submission - phase. - -

The number of peer assesors can be zero. In which case the assignment - becomes either a self-graded assignment if that option is turned on, or - a normal teacher-graded assignment. - -

Resubmitting assignments

- -

By default, students cannot resubmit assignments, they are allowed only one submission.

- -

If you turn this option on, then students will be allowed to submit more than one piece of work - to this assignment. This may be useful if the teacher wants to encourage students to do better - work by an iterative process.

- -

The assessment of submissions is allocated on the basis of the number of assessments a piece - of work has had. Thus new submissions from a student are likely to be candidates for peer - assessment. However, if a student resubmits a number of pieces of work in quick succession then - they are all equally likely to be assessed. The assignment does NOT give priority to the newest - submission. - -

When the student's final grade is calculated the submission with the highest grade is used. Here - highest grade means the weighted combination of the teacher's grade and the peer grade if - both are available. - -

Self Assessment

Hiding the Display of Grades

- -

This option can be used in a workshop assignment where there - must be agreement between the students on each assessment . - The default value is to show the student whose work is being - assessed both the comments and the grades in the peer assessments. This - may lead to more disputes than when the option is turned on and the - assessments are shown without the grades. - -

If the option is taken to hide grades in the peer assessments the - grades are revealed once agreement has been reached. This agreement - will, of course, have been made only on the comments. If these comments - do not reasonably match the grades then the student whose work is being - assessed may well appeal to the teacher. -

Display of Teacher's Grades

- -

A peer graded assignment can optionally make the teacher's comments - and grades available to the student's.
