How to use the Grading tool

This article is intended for instructors.

It is possible to create a custom grading summary report for a simulation. This automatic grading report gives you great flexibility in evaluating your students. You can select from a list of fields organized by categories and assign each a weighting of your choice to compose the final grade.

To learn how the rating report is calculated, see this article : The Grading Report - How grades are calculated

To configure the grading report: : 

1. Go to your profile on www.praxar.com, then open the Instructor Zone and click on “Grading”.
2. Select the group for which you want to configure the report.
3. In the “Configuration” tab, add the fields for which you want to assign a grade.
4. For each field, set a weight.

Note: The total of the weighting of all fields must be equal to 100. In case the total is not equal to 100, it will not be possible to generate the grading report.

To generate the grading report:

1. Go to your profile on www.praxar.com, then open the Instructor Zone and click on "Grading".
2. Select the group for which you want to generate the grading report.
3. In the "Results" tab, click on "Generate".
4. In the window that appears, select the simulation year for which you want to generate the report.
5. When the report generation is complete, you will be able to download it in Excel format.

To copy the grading report configuration to one or more other groups:

1. Go to your profile on www.praxar.com, then open the Instructor Zone and click on “Grading”.
2. Select the row of the group for which you want to copy the configuration.
3. Click on the “Actions” button.
4. Choose “Copy configuration to…”.
5. In the window that appears, select the groups to which you want to copy the report configuration
6. Click on “Copy to selected groups”.
   

Please be aware that when you create a rating report configuration for a group by copying from another group, the two configurations remain entirely independent!

For instance, if you set up a configuration for Group A and then copy this configuration to Group B, any changes made to Group A’s configuration will not be automatically reflected in Group B. To update Group B with the latest configuration from Group A, you will need to repeat the copy process.
