Please make sure that the assignment column in the grade centre is hidden from students before marking starts.
The allocation tool will only list and allocate students who don't already have a mark entered in the Grade Centre for their latest attempt.
There are three different ways to allocate marking:
Allocate randomly across markers
Allocates the number of unmarked submissions across the selected markers as equally as possible.
- From Course Tools, select UWE Marking Allocation and the tool will load.
- By default any assignments in the last year, where the due date has passed will be displayed.
- Click on Allocate Marking.
- 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.
- If you want the marking to be anonymous, tick the anonymous option.
- Select Random Distribution.
- Select Submit.
Allocate a specific number of students to specific markers
