Pear Assessment lets you manually enter or update grades after a student submits an assignment. You may need to do this when a student deserves credit for a technically incorrect answer, when you want to award partial credit, or when an error in your question warrants giving all students full credit.

Tips for Manually Updating Grades

  • Essay questions are manually graded by default. If a rubric is attached and AI evaluation is enabled for the test, eligible rubric-based essay questions can be scored automatically. Review and approve AI-generated scores and feedback before students can see them.
  • You can manually update any student’s score at any time after the student has submitted their assignment.
AI rubric grading is currently a beta feature, and its accuracy may vary.
