Grading Questions

Evaluate student essay responses and provide constructive feedback. Multiple choice questions are graded automatically, but open-ended questions require manual evaluation by the teacher.

Accessing pending grading

Access the quiz metrics page

In Quizzes, locate the desired quiz and click Metrics. You will see the list of all students who have made attempts.

Access grading

Click Grade on the desired attempt to see all of the student’s responses, question by question.

Grading page

The grading page displays, for each question in the attempt:

Information	Description
Prompt	Full text of the question
Student’s response	What the student answered
Question score	Maximum possible value
Score field	For you to assign the points (0 up to the maximum value)
Feedback field	Comment for the student about the response

For multiple choice questions, the grading already appears filled in automatically (correct or incorrect). For open-ended questions, you need to:

Read the prompt to recall what was asked
Analyze the student’s response
Assign a score from 0 up to the maximum value of the question
Write feedback explaining the evaluation
Save the grading

The feedback is visible to the student on the quiz results page. Use it to guide learning.

Final score

The quiz final score is calculated automatically as the sum of each question’s score. However, the teacher can override the final score when necessary.

Manual score override

Field	Description
nota_final_manual	Numeric value that replaces the calculated score
nota_final_override	Flag indicating that the score was manually overridden

When you set a manual final score:

The calculated score (sum of questions) is preserved in the history
The score displayed to the student becomes the manual score
A visual indicator shows that the score was overridden by the teacher

Overriding the final score affects the student’s pass/fail status. If the quiz has minimo_acertos configured, the manual score is used to determine whether the student passed.

When to use override

The student experienced technical issues during the attempt
You want to consider extra factors not captured in the questions
The automatic grading for multiple choice needs adjustment (ambiguous question)
The student deserves extra credit for participation or effort

Grading flow for mixed quizzes

For quizzes of type diversos (combining multiple choice and open-ended):

Multiple choice questions arrive already graded automatically
Open-ended questions remain pending grading
The partial score (objective only) is displayed as provisional
After grading all open-ended questions, the final score is recalculated
The student sees the updated score with all questions evaluated

Conflict protection

The system uses a unique index to protect against race conditions during grading. If two teachers attempt to grade the same question simultaneously, only the first grading is recorded and the second receives a warning.
