Use the Point System review type in Schoolwork
Use the Point System review type to score your students’ work, indicate correct and incorrect answers, and provide feedback in Schoolwork. You tap to add marks, or symbols, to indicate correct and incorrect answers. You can also tap to add bonus marks; awarding additional points without changing the total points. As you add marks, Schoolwork automatically calculates student’s scores and total possible points. You can move, edit, hide and remove marks. If marks you add or remove affect the previously set total possible points, Schoolwork updates the total possible points for all students.
You can change mark values and symbols to personalise your experience. When you change values and symbols, Schoolwork updates settings for the current assessment only. New assessments return to the original settings.
