   1 <h1>UnGraded Assessments</h1>
   2
   3 <p>In general, the assessments made by students are given a (small) proportion
   4     of marks which count towards their final grade. The grading of these
   5     assessments (and those made by the teacher) is done in the background by
   6     the workshop module. Provided a submission is assessed
   7     three or more times, the module can make a reasonable estimate of each
   8     assessment's &quot;worth&quot;. (For submissions which have been assessed
   9     only once or twice, these assessments are given the maximum &quot;grading
  10     grade&quot;.) As this grading process is done at regular intervals, the
  11     number of ungraded assessments will normally be zero. (Note that in
  12     Workshops where assessments have to be agreed, assessments which have not
  13     been agreed are also likely to be ungraded. So in this type of workshop
  14     the number of ungraded assessments is likely to be non-zero but the number
  15     should decrease as assessments are agreed.)</p>

  17 <p>The function of this link is to force a re-calculation of the grading grades,
  18     the grades given to assessments. The teacher may want to do this when either
  19     of these two options is changed:
  20 <ol>
  21     <li>The option &quot;Comparison of Assessments&quot;;</li>
  22     <li>The weighting given to the teacher's assessments.</li>
  23 </ol>
  24     Clicking on this link will immediately bring the grading grades up-to-date,
  25     reflecting the current values given to these parameters. Changes to other
  26     the settings of the workshop, such as the value for the grading grade
  27     itself, do <b>not</b> require this re-calculation to be performed.</p>
