How does grade pass-back and auto-grading work?
Updated onArticleIndividual lesson links allow for students to be directed into each lesson without extra navigation in SI Cloud. These lesson links also create a connection between the students' work in each lesson and the grade book item that is created in the LMS course. It is important to have each lesson link present in the LMS course. Additionally, ensure that students are selecting each link that is created to have successful grade pass-back.
SI Cloud does have some auto-grading features for all questions within the Exploration sections and most questions in the Evaluation sections. The Experimentation sections contain short answers, data tables, and picture submissions that need to be checked and verified by instructors before grade pass-back will sync.
