Here you will also be able to set your grading scheme. This is set to determine the weight of each stage and to help your students understand where their marks are coming from.
Creation Score
This mark will be calculated as the weighted average of their peer's numeric evaluation of a student's creation. This is generally weighted the highest as a regular assignment might.
Evaluation Score
This score is comprised of two factors: Grading Score and Written Evaluation Score. The grading score takes into account a student's ability to grade their peers according to the rubric and to their other peers. The written evaluation score comes from how motivational and critical their comments were after their peers grade it in the Feedback stage.
Feedback Score
This is often weighted the lowest as this is a participation mark based on the number of feedbacks the student has completed. For example, if the student has completed all of their feedbacks, then they would receive 100%.
