Student Grading and Reports

• On each InQuizitive assignment, students must answer a minimum number of questions before receiving a grade. They also need to reach a certain number of points, or Target Score, to receive 100%. You can modify the minimum number of questions and Target Score at any time.
• Once students answer the minimum number of questions, they begin to receive a grade. Student grades are calculated as the percentage of the Target Score points they’ve accumulated. For example, if the Target Score is 1,000 points, and a student has gained 500, their current grade is 50%.
• Up until the Grades Accepted Until date for an assignment, students can answer as many questions as they'd like to reach the Target Score and receive 100%. After the Grades Accepted Until date passes, students will be able to continue to answer questions, but will no longer be able to improve their grade on that InQuizitive assignment.

Students can earn additional points on each question using the confidence slider. When students increase their confidence level, the point total that could be gained or lost on that given question also increases.

• Scoring on a question ranges from 20–100 points depending on where students set their confidence level.
• A student who loses points by answering a question incorrectly on the first attempt can regain half of the points by answering the question correctly on the second attempt. Note: Some types of questions also allow for “second chance points” on third, fourth, or fifth attempts.
• There are three levels in an InQuizitive assignment, all reached by accumulating a certain number of points. Once a student reaches Levels 2 or 3, their point total can never fall below the point total threshold needed to reach that level.
• If a student answers 5 questions correctly in a row, they earn a bonus equal to 5% of the Target Score.
• If they haven't reached level 2 after answering 3/4 of the minimum number of questions, InQuizitive will give a "bonus question" that, when answered correctly, will immediately bump them up to level 2. Similarly, if they haven't reached level 3 after twice the minimum number of questions have been answered, they will receive a bonus question that will bump them up to level 3.

The only customized grading available in InQuizitive is the adjusting of the Target Score and minimum number of questions. However, if you use InQuizitive in conjunction with a campus learning management system (Blackboard, Canvas, etc.), you can set weightings and designate activities as extra credit in the learning management system gradebook.

Here's how to override individual student grades from an assignment's Class Activity Report:

Navigate to the Class Activity Report for the relevant InQuizitive assignment by selecting a Student Set from the Select a Student Set drop-down menu, then clicking the Reports button across from the relevant assignment.

Alternately, when inside an InQuizitive assignment itself, you can access that assignment's class activity report by selecting Class Activity Report from the gear menu at the top right of the page.

Click the Details button across from the relevant student's name.

Click the Override Grade button for that student and enter the new grade.

The grade will immediately update in InQuizitive. If you’re using LMS integration, the grade will also immediately update in your LMS gradebook.

Here's how to override a Grades Accepted Until (GAU) Date for an individual student:

Navigate to the Class Activity Report for the relevant InQuizitive assignment by selecting a Student Set from the Select a Student Set drop-down menu, then clicking the Reports button across from the relevant assignment.

Alternately, when inside an InQuizitive assignment itself, you can access that assignment's class activity report by selecting Class Activity Report from the gear menu at the top right of the page.

Click the Details button across from the relevant student's name.

Click the Override Grades Accepted Until Date button for that student and enter the new Grades Accepted Until Date.

When you extend the Grades Accepted Until (GAU) date for a student, the class-wide GAU remains unchanged. However, when the student logs in, the new individual GAU will be shown, and they’ll be able to complete the activity for a grade up until that new date.

Important Notes:

• One student, one assignment at a time: You can only extend the GAU for one student on one assignment at a time. To make changes for multiple students or assignments, repeat the steps for each individual case.
• Grades don’t update automatically: If a student completes an activity after the original class-wide GAU, their score may still show as 0%, even if they scored 100%. Simply updating the individual GAU will not automatically update their grade unless the student relaunches the activity to force a grade update.

To reflect the correct score, there are two options:

1. Use the Override Grade feature to manually update the student's grade.
2. Change the class-wide GAU so the student’s work falls within that timeframe.

Here's how to completely clear a student's submission and reset their grade:

Navigate to the Class Activity Report for the relevant InQuizitive assignment by selecting a Student Set from the Select a Student Set drop-down menu, then clicking the Reports button across from the relevant assignment.
