Graide will not use its AI in PDF mode.

Anonymous Grading

Multiple Attempts

If you would like multiple attempts for your students you can set the exact number allowed or allow unlimited attempts.

Dates

The following dates can be set for your assignment.
  • View - When the students can see the assignment.
  • Begin - When the students can begin the assignment.
  • Deadline - After which students are told their submissions are late.
  • Hard Deadline - After which the student's work is automatically submitted.
  • Feedback - When the feedback will be received.

Grading Distribution

Pick the grader groups
  • Picking multiple grader groups will combine the groups.
  • The grading work will be randomly distributed amongst the selected graders.
Pick the distribution
  • Per Question will allow you to select which graders from the groups will be assigned which questions.
  • Per Student will distribute the work amongst all the graders picked. Each one assigned a roughly equal share of the work, and they can see all of one students work combined.

Extra Time

To give extra time for particular students search for and select them from the dropdown. Then set either in minutes or a percentage of extra time for those particular students.
