Remark free response questions

Update questions and remark submissions easily if errors or mark scheme adjustments are needed after student responses.

Written by Ethan Marrs

If you change a question or its mark scheme after students have answered, you can re-mark the work that was already submitted rather than adjusting marks by hand.


​

Change the question first

Open the lesson from My Library and make your change: the marks, the correct answer, or the mark scheme. Save it. You will see a note that the question already has submissions.


​

Then re-mark

Open the classroom from the sidebar, go to Assignments, click the assignment and then the lesson.

A banner offers Re-mark affected questions. Click it, check which questions are listed, and confirm.

​

Re-marking runs in the background and can take a few minutes for a big class.


​

What triggers a re-mark

  • Changing the marks allocated to a question.

  • Changing which option is correct, or the correct pairs or order.

  • Changing the mark scheme on a long answer.

Fixing a typo in the wording does not flag anything, so you can tidy up without prompting a re-mark for the whole class.
