Cutebrains’ grading feature is a robust tool designed to streamline the assessment process for educators, making it easy to evaluate student performance and provide timely feedback. This feature supports a variety of grading methods, including numerical grades, custom scales, and advanced grading rubrics, allowing for flexible and precise assessment tailored to specific subject requirements.
To use the grading feature, educators first navigate to their subject dashboard and access the gradebook through the “Grades” link. Within the gradebook, they can add grade items corresponding to assignments, quizzes, and other activities by clicking on “Setup” and then “Add grade item.” For each grade item, educators can set the grading method, maximum grade, and any associated scales or rubrics. Additionally, grade items can be organized into categories like Homework or Exams to better structure the gradebook. The platform also allows for bulk grade entry, making it efficient to handle large classes.
When grading student submissions, educators access the specific activity within the subject and click on “View all submissions” to see the list of student submissions. Grades can be entered directly, feedback comments can be provided, and feedback files can be attached. Advanced grading methods, such as rubrics or marking guides, can be set up in the activity settings, allowing for detailed and criterion-based assessment. Cutebrains also supports automated grading for quizzes and certain activities, saving educators time and ensuring consistency.
The gradebook provides a comprehensive overview of all grades, enabling educators to see individual and overall performance and identify trends to address any issues promptly. Manual grade adjustments can be made directly in the gradebook by clicking on the grade cell for a student and entering a new grade. Feedback for individual grades can be added, allowing students to view comments alongside their scores, which can include text, files, or audio/video recordings. Students can view their grades and feedback in real-time, promoting transparency and continuous improvement.
Cutebrains excels with its user-friendly interface and seamless integration with other platform features. Its grading system is not only versatile but also enhances the overall learning experience by providing clear, actionable feedback. This integration creates a cohesive environment where communication and subject-work are intertwined, fostering a more engaging and effective educational environment that benefits both educators and students.
