Gradebook Symbols
View answers to frequently asked questions asked by NIU faculty and staff.
When an assessment has been deployed, an Faculty Member can track students' status regarding the test. The following chart explains the symbols displayed in the Gradebook. The check mark
indicates the student completed a survey.
Only two of the symbols require special action:
- The exclamation mark ! indicates a test has been submitted and a question or questions require grading (essays must be assigned points by the Faculty Member). To view and grade unscored questions:
- Click on the !
- Click View
- Read and assign points to the essay question(s)
- Submit to update score.
- The question mark ? indicates that an error occurred while taking or submitting the exam. If an error occurs and the exam is set for one attempt, the student will be unable to retake the exam, the Faculty Member will need to clear the student's attempt in order for the student to relate the test. To clear an assessment attempt:
- Click on the ?
- Click View
- Click on Clear Attempt
- Submit change.
