<p>During the course of the exercise the teacher may feel that the grades given
to the student assessments are either too high or too low. These grades are
shown on the exercise's Administration Page. In this case, the teacher can
change the setting of this option and re-calculate the student assessment
grades (the &quot;Grading Grades&quot;). The re-calculation is done by
clicking the &quot;Re-grade Student Assessments&quot; link found on the
administration page of the exercise. This can be safely performed at any
time in the exercise.</p>

the number of levels can vary from criterion to criterion. When setting up a criterion a
blank level statement signals the end of the level statements. Thus some criteria may have
two levels, others have three, up to five levels. The criteria can be weighted. The levels
are scored 0, 1, 2, up to 4. The grade for the assessment is a weighted sum of these

<p align=center><b>Re-grading Student Assessments</b></p>
<p>This link re-calculates the &quot;Grading grades&quot; of all the student
assessments. Normally it is <b>not</b> necessary to action this
re-calculation. New student assessments are automatically graded after the
teacher has assessed the relavant piece of work from the student.</p>
<p>If, however, the Grading grades are felt to be too high or too low the
teacher may wish to change the &quot;Comparison of Assessments&quot; option
(by Updating the Exercise). The default value of this option is
&quot;Fair&quot;. If the grading grades are too high then setting the
option to either &quot;Strict&quot; or &quot;Very Strict&quot; will reduce
the grades. Or alternatively if the grades are too low, setting the option
to &quot; Lax&quot; or &quot;Very Lax&quot; will increase the grades.</p>
<p>If a change to the Grading grades is required the steps are:
<ol>
<li>Update the Exercise with the new value of the Comparison of Assessments
option;</li>
<li>Go to to the Exercise's Administration page and click on the
&quot;Re-grade Student Assessments&quot; link.</li>
</ol>
The new grades will be displayed. These process can be safely repeated.</p>
