Grading Assignments with a Marking Guide on Scholar

Did you know that Scholar assignments can be graded with a marking guide? The marking guide allows you to list and describe set of grading categories. For example, you might have a 50-point paper with four categories: explanation of issues (20 points), evidence (15 points), thesis (5 points), and organization (10 points). When you grade, just enter the number of points earned in each category; Scholar sums the points for you. Scholar will also provide you with space to add comments for each category and to add comments for the assignment overall.  Scholar even lets you create a list of frequently used comments. When you grade, you just click on that comment to add it to the feedback for a specific student.
