8. Online Marking FAQs

“The assignment was due today, but I have looked at the assignment on Moodle and can’t see any

papers to mark. Why not?”

The Course Administrator will inform you when they have allocated marking for you to collect. This might take a day or two after the submission deadline. Contact them in the first instance.

“The Course Administrator says my marking is ready for collection on Moodle but I still can’t see it.

What shall I do?”

Please make sure you are looking at the correct assignment in the first instance. If this is still the case, email the Course Administrator cc’ing for TEL department [email protected].

Also make sure the filters at the bottom of the Grading table are set to No filter.

“I thought I was supposed to have a lot more marking for this submission but only have a few. Where

are the others?”

Please contact the Course Administrator as they are responsible for allocating the marking.

“When I upload feedback how do I know it has uploaded?”

Firstly when you look at the grading table, you will know you have least put the grade in if you notice under the grade column will be a number out of 100.

To confirm you have uploaded Markers Comments, use the horizontal scroll bar at the bottom of the Grading table to scroll along the grid.

If uploaded correctly you will see under the column titled Feedback files your comment sheet. If not repeat the process of uploading feedback outline above.
