Within the Grade section, there are three types of grading methods, and so far, we have only used the default Simple direct grading option. However, there are two other types of grading methods: Marking guide and Rubric.
The simple direct grading option enables us to choose the grade options (such as number or a scale), and the teacher adds the grade that is awarded to the student. The alternative grading methods use a very different grading process. The teacher does not select the final overall grade but grades individual criteria instead, and the score for each of these is added together to create the final grade. When creating an assignment that uses Marking guide or Rubric, we need to identify the criteria that will be used to assess the assignment.
