If you haven't heard of the instructor's approval feature, now is the time to get to know it! In this short guide, we've summarised everything you need to know.
Instructor approval is required to confirm the final result, which can be done in the Evaluate menu. Before approval, you can check the answers given by the completer, override the auto-correction, or correct the final total score.
Once the teacher has approved the assignment, the finalised result will be available to the student. Of course, the approval can still be changed after finalisation, in which case click on the Undo button.
You can give an instructor approval anytime; there is no time limit. However, if you have full confidence in the auto-correction, you do not need to check the solutions and revise them all (e.g., for multiple choice tasks, the auto-correction is based on the solution key you have provided, so you do not need to check them again). In this case, use the Approve all button.
In most cases, it is still a good idea to check the submitted worksheets yourself, too. It is possible (e.g., in the short answer task type) that the student gives a correct solution but is not included in the solution key, so the system automatically gives a lower score. Once you finished checking the solutions and the scores, approve the worksheet(s). This will make it easier to navigate through submitted worksheets.
The different completion statuses (started, submitted, approved) have different colours. For easier visibility, these colours are displayed next to the completer's name.
If the student has completed the task more than once, these colours will also appear in the number of completed worksheets, according to the completion status (blue-started, yellow-submitted, green-approved).
