💡 PhD Science Texas Scoring Recommendations:
-
Select after submission to support the End of Module Assessment or End of Spotlight Assessment debriefs outlined in the Teacher Edition. This will enable individual students to view their responses after submitting them and before scoring. Students can use rubrics to evaluate their responses.
-
Alternatively, the after the class completes the assessment option can also support the End of Module Assessment or End of Spotlight Assessment debriefs outlined in the Teacher Edition. However, this setting requires that all students who had the assessment assigned to them submit the assessment before any student can review their responses.
