About
Perusall uses a machine learning algorithm to score student comments and work in Perusall. For more information see How is comment quality defined in Perusall? on Perusall's knowledge base. This article will review how to get more from Perusall grading analytics. To follow this guide, you will need Perusall set up in a course with students participating in an assignment.
Step-by-step Instructions
First, you will set up how you would like Perusall to set up scoring and analytics in your course. You can enable the following settings by selecting Settings on the left menu, select the General tab, and finally, selecting Scoring and Analytics. For additional guidance, check out Perusall's article and video on this process.
- Automatic grading and engagement analytics- Perusall will provide data about student engagement for your review and assignments will be graded automatically. You can always override automatically-assigned grades and decide when they are displayed to students.
- Manual grading and engagement analytics- Perusall will provide data about student engagement for your review. Assignments will not be graded automatically, but you can review student engagement data and manually assign scores to students' assignment submissions.
- Disable grading, but provide engagement analytics: Perusall will provide data about student engagement for your review. All assignments will be ungraded and the gradebook will be disabled.
- Disable all analytics: Perusall will not provide data about student engagement. All assignments will be ungraded and the gradebook will be disabled.
Once your students have begun to enter in and complete a Perusall assignment, you will have access to engagement analytics.
To access engagement analytics, navigate to your Gradebook on the left menu. For automatic grading, you will next select the score assigned by Perusall for an individual student for that specific assignment.
When you select the score given to a student, you will be taken into a pop up window that provides information about scoring and engagement. The first two options allow you to toggle the student's score to manually change their score if you would like. To the right of this, you can toggle between different students in the course. Below both these options, you can elect to optionally provide a comment on this student's work.
Below these options, you will find two tabs, engagement metrics and comments submitted. The first, engagement metrics, will give more information on each of the Perusall grading metrics for this specific student. Information on metrics including comment content, opening assignment, reading to the end, active engagement time, getting responses, upvoting, and quizzes will be provided. Perusall will give the details for what the student submitted and next, how it calculated this student's score based on their work. At the bottom, you will find the total percentage given for this assignment.
The next tab available for each student is comments submitted. Here you can view in entirety all the student's comments as well as word count, page location, quality of the comment, upvotes, replies, and when the comment was created and last edited.
When you select the dropdown next to the quality score on the comment you can manually change the quality score as needed (low-quality, medium-quality, high-quality). You can also flag the comment as inappropriate or do not allow students to flag the score as inappropriate.
In the last column, you can mark the comment as read which will notify the student.
You are done. Great job!
