Question

How do I view a student's attempt for an assignment?

Solution

You can quickly get to the gradebook for any course by locating that course on your My Courses dashboard and opening the Gradebook page.

You can access your Vantage gradebook from the course tile on your My Courses dashboard.

If you are already in another area of your Vantage course, you can easily get to the Gradebook from the top navigation menu.

If you are in another tab of your course, you can use the top navigation menu to access the Gradebook tab.

You can click on a student's name in the gradebook to view details of their progress on their Assignment Overview page. At the top of the page, you can see a snapshot of the number of assignments the student has completed with a breakdown of those assignments by type.

This image shows an Assignment Overview page after clicking a student's name in the gradebook. Basic course details are displayed at the top left. The top middle and right side of the page display graphs that track the student's progress through the assignments in the course.

More specific details and actions for grade management are available on the bottom of the page. You will see all submitted attempts for any assignment the student has completed. Each assignment will show the current grade based on your course settings. Each attempt shows the points received and the percentage as well as the start and end dates for that attempt. Any completion date that is after the due date appears in red.

At the bottom of the Assignment Overview page, each assignment attempt a student has made is listed. Details include the number of attempts and the scores for each attempt, what is recorded in the gradebook for the assignment (a grade or complete), and the starting and ending time stamps for each attempt.

You can click Review for any assignment attempt to see more specific information about the student's attempt for the assignment. At the top of the page, you can see a quick snapshot about the student's attempt.

Clicking "Review" for a student's attempt on an assignment provides more specific details about that attempt. The top of the page includes a snapshot and graphical view of how well the student did.

Below this information, you can see which questions the student received on the attempt along with their responses. Green indicates the student answered the question successfully. Red shows areas where further review is necessary. Please note that in the example image below, some information has been removed. In your course, you will be able to see all question information for the student's attempt.

When reviewing a student's attempt for an assignment, you can see which questions they received and how they answered. Each question has a visual indicator to quickly see if they answered right (green) or wrong (red).

You can click Back to Assignment Overview at the top or bottom of the page to return to the student's activity.
