Grading guide for instructors

To get started, log into your dashboard and click Admin. Then click the Grading tab and view the Video Tutorial to learn how to grade your students.

When you need to grade your students' assignments, click the Grading tab, then click New: Instructor Portal.

You will see icons with colored squares. Green means the task has been graded. Yellow means a recent submission. Red means a submission over 24 hours ago. The camera icon denotes a photo upload task. The question mark means it’s a question from a student. 

IMPORTANT NOTE: Do NOT grade tasks directly in the queue—you must assign the tasks before grading.

From the Queue, assign any outstanding tasks to yourself (or another instructor at your institution) on the right-hand side.

Next, go to your Tasks tab, where you will see a list of your students’ submissions.

Click on any submission (i.e. “Test Activity | Make Your Go-To Dish”), then click Start Grading. This will take you to the next page, where you will see your student’s photos and descriptions for that particular task.

On the right side of the page, you will see a scoring guide for each photo. Use the dropdown menu to award the appropriate amount of points for each photo. Most tasks will require three photos total (mise en place, the recipe in progress and the final dish), as well as a detailed description.

Once you have scored each photo and read your student’s description, you have the option to provide written feedback in the Comments section.

Click Submit Grade. To navigate back to your other students' submissions, click the Tasks tab.
