Several assessors on a FLOWmulti

Perform an assessment

• Assess an automatically-marked question
  When a question is automatically marked, you usually only need to verify that the system has awarded the correct points. The total score for the question is shown in the right-hand corner of the section heading.
  
  
  
• Create an annotation
  

  Click on the green ‘+’ that appears to the right of the section heading to create an annotation.

  In the annotation you can write a comment and award any points.

  Comments you write are automatically saved.

  Click the ‘x’ in the top right corner of the box to close the annotation view.
  

• Confirm assessment
  Once you have verified that the score is correct and written any comments, you confirm the assessment by clicking on the tick box visible in the right-hand corner of the section heading, when the tick box is blue you have confirmed the assessment for that section.
  
  Scroll down to start assessing the next question. Alternatively you can use the little arrow at the bottom of the section to move on to the same question with the next student.
