Scoring Settings

The Scoring settings allow you to establish the point values earned for actively participating in class and for answering questions correctly.

Scoring tab in My Settings window

Participation (Session-Based) Points

Participation points are awarded to students who attend and vote during lecture (encouraging student engagement). Participation points are awarded by overall session activity, not by individual question.

Performance (Question-Based) Points

Performance points are awarded to students by question for specific answers. Students can earn performance points without earning participation points, depending on your preference.

Total Performance Points

Here, you can limit the number of total performance points a student can earn in a single session. Example: If maximum performance points are set at five points, and a six-question session is held with each question worth one point, even if a student answers all six questions correctly, the most she can earn for that session is five points.

You may choose to set these preferences for the entire term or just the current session. Your selections on the Scoring settings will appear in the i>grader Set Session Scoring window for subsequent lecture(s).
