Available for Grader.
This article is about the basic functionality for explanation of the candidate's final grade.
Overview
The Graders can send explanation of grades to candidates by using the Explanation tool. You can write explanations from scratch and/or add your private notes you have made during the grading process. The explanation will not be shared until you click Send to candidate.
The explanation can be edited by all Graders in the committee. If committees are not used, all Graders can edit it. Note that the explanations are not private. When a Grader creates or updates an explanation, that Grader's name and the time of the last change are added and made visible to all other Graders.
Before sending explanations to candidates:
- You are sending the explanation on behalf of all Graders.
- Explanations can only be sent once.
- Once shared, explanations cannot be withdrawn, edited or deleted.
The test must have status Graded before explanations can be sent to the candidates. All Graders and committees must have confirmed final grading.
