   1 <h1>Grading of Assignments</h1>
   2
   3 <p>In this Exercise the same Assessment Form is used by Students and Teachers
   4     to assess the work produced. The form is used at different stages of the
   5     exercise by the two groups, thus the explanation given here is divided into
   6     two parts.</p>
   7
   8 <h2>For Students</h2>
   9
  10 <p>The assessment form is used mainly to show you how your work will be
  11     assessed by the teacher. You are required to complete this form <b>before</b>
  12     you can submit your work. You can use it as a checklist. The form is <b>not</b>
  13     sent to the teacher when you save it. You can return to this form and amend it
  14     (and your piece of work) as many times as you like provided you have
  15     <b>not</b> submitted the work. Note that although you are allowed to, there
  16     is no need to submit your work immediately after you have completely this form.
  17     However, the contents of your assessment are frozen and made available to the
  18     teacher when you submit your work.</p>
  19
  20 <p>If the teacher requests that you make changes to your work and to re-submit
  21     it, you will <b>not</b> be asked to re-assess your &quot;new&quot; piece of
  22     work. You only make this assessment &quot;first time round&quot;.</p>
  23
  24 <p>This (initial) assessment of your work is compared to the teacher's
  25     assessment of your work. The closer the two assessments match the higher
  26     will be your &quot;grading grade&quot;. This grade is usually a smaller
  27     grade than the grade you are given for your work. The final grade for the
  28     exercise is these two grades added together.</p>
  29
  30 <p>Once you have submitted your own work the teacher will grade it using the
  31     same assessment form. You will be able to see their scores for your work
  32     and their comments. Their grade will normally form the main part of the
  33     final grade you receive from this Exercise.</p>
  34
  35 <h2>For the Teacher</h2>
  36
  37 <p>The assessment form is used to grade the submissions of the students.
  38     These grades normally form the major component of the students' final grade
  39     for the exercise. The assessment, it's grade and any comments you make can
  40     be viewed by the student who submitted the work. Once you have made the
  41     assessment you should decide whether to allow the student to change and
  42     re-submit their work, hopefully with improvements, or not.</p>
  43
  44 <p>When you save an assessment you given a short period of time in which to
  45     make any amendments before the assessment to &quot;released&quot; to
  46     the student.</p>
