Task Settings and Results
Settings, scoring, results, and LMS sync guidance for MathMatize classroom tasks
Task Settings and Results
Task settings determine how students experience the activity and how instructors review the work afterward.
Settings to review
- Exercises or content: confirm the task includes the intended material.
- Layout: decide whether students see one exercise at a time, a stack, or the full set.
- Availability and due dates: control when students can start and when work is late or closed.
- Feedback and answers: decide when students can check their work, learn whether their responses are correct, and view full answers.
- Scoring: choose whether grades are based on whether responses are correct, completion, or fixed points.
- Help resources: add hints, solutions, external links, or other resources when appropriate.
Assessment scoring
Assessments support three scoring modes:
- Partial scoring: students are graded based on the percentage of each exercise they answer correctly.
- Completion: each completed, gradable exercise contributes equally to the grade, whether or not the response is correct. Blank or incomplete responses do not receive completion credit, and Explanation content does not count toward the number of exercises available.
- All or nothing: each exercise uses the configured fixed point value instead of percentage-based partial credit.
For completion scoring, the Results tab shows both the percentage grade and the number of exercises completed, such as 8 of 10 completed.
If students can try the whole assessment more than once, their best score from the allowed attempts is used.
Feedback and full answers
Feedback controls when students learn whether their own responses are correct:
- Interactive feedback gives students a Check answer button for each exercise and immediately shows whether their response is correct. You can configure the number of checks allowed and, when scoring is based on whether responses are correct, the penalty for an incorrect check.
- Submission-based feedback automatically saves responses. Students learn whether their responses are correct after submitting the assessment attempt or when full answers are released, depending on the selected setting.
Feedback about whether responses are correct is separate from full answers. Full answers can be released after each exercise for an interactive assessment, after each assessment attempt, after the available-until date, or manually by the instructor.
Releasing full answers immediately ends the assessment for all students. They can no longer save responses after the answers are released.
Before releasing a task
Preview the task as a student. Check that instructions are clear, exercises render correctly, and reveal/scoring settings match the purpose of the task.
Results and LMS sync
After students work on a task, review results from the Results tab of classroom task page. Completion grades are still expressed as percentages when they are synced to an LMS. If the classroom is connected to an LMS and the task should send grades back, use LMS grade sync.
