Overview of functionality
When more than one grader is grading a submission, the Planner can choose the option to Require graders to align marks. When this option is selected, graders are required to set the same mark on each response to be able to confirm final grading.
How to enable Require graders to align marks
To enable this functionality, open the test in Deliver module.
- Navigate to Options > Grading workflow.
- Click Require graders to align marks.
Note: This test setting can only be changed up until grading starts. Once the grading starts, the setting can no longer be changed.
