How to allocate marking

The allocation tool will only list and allocate students who don't already have a mark entered in the Gradebook for their latest attempt.

The UWE Allocation tool can be found in the Books & Tools menu. There are three different ways to allocate marking:

Allocates the number of unmarked submissions across the selected markers as equally as possible.

Use the filters to find the assignment. Those which have closed for student submissions but not already been allocated will display under Ready to Mark
Click on Ready to Mark.
Either select Add all Instructors, or in the instructors field start typing a markers name and then select them from the list. If there are markers added that you do not want included, use the X to remove them.
From the drop down select Random Distribution.
By default Use Student ID will be ticked. If you want to see student names instead, de-select the tick box.
Select Submit.

Allocates the number of submissions set to the selected markers. A short recorded demo is available.
