Part Centric View

Part Centric View option is designed for instructors to quickly apply mass grade updates or assess student responses to open ended questions.  To access part centric view, click on Switch to Part Centric View in the upper left-hand corner of the Grade Report screen. 

Next, you will see a screen with the problems and their parts listed like a table of contents.  Click on the problem or problem part to see a list of your students and their grades on the problem and part you have selected.

1. Click on Switch to Assignment Centric View to return to the Basic Grade Report
2. Clicking the down arrow under Problem Part allows you to go back to the assignment contents page, as seen in the image above, where you can easily select a different problem or problem part.
3. Hovering over a student's name will show a detailed student information box including the student's name, email, student number, disability settings, grade on the selected problem or part, and grade override with any comments that were entered. 

Next, click on any student's name to show the Extended Grade Report for that problem or problem part.

1. Grade Edit Area - where you can edit a student's grade or manually grade an open-ended problem.
2. Options - grade override for total part[?] checkbox will be discussed in greater detail below.
3. Reset Attempts - This button will clear any submission attempts for that problem or problem part and allow the student a fresh attempt at submitting answers to the problem or problem part.  When you click the button, a message box will appear, see below.  To continue with the reset, click the OK button or click the Cancel button to exit without proceeding with the reset.
4. Detailed Grade Report - shows every student answer submission, any hints or feedback that the student used, and any deductions taken (including late work when available)

Grade override for total part [?]

Before you change a grade in the Part Centric View, there are two options to consider.

1. Leave the box selected.  This will override the student's grade for the entire part, so the value in the Grade box will become the student's grade.  This will remove any deductions previously assessed for incorrect answers, hints, feedback or late work.  This option is selected by default, and we recommend you leave it selected.
2. Unselect the box.  This will affect only the student's final answer credit.  Any deductions acquired for incorrect answers, hints, feedback, and late work will be deducted from the edited grade entered.

Once you have determined the type of grade modification you would like to make, you can edit the student's grade by using the up and down arrows or by typing a number between 0 and 100 in the box.  Add any comments you feel are necessary (not required) and then click the Apply Grade button to save the changes.  When a grade has been overridden you will see a highlighted notation.

Note: The grade value and comments associated with a change will remain in the same state as you navigate to different students.  This will allow mass updates to be made quickly.  However, if you are assessing open-ended questions, be sure to update the grade and comments as necessary for each individual student.
