How do I change the grade for a speech assignment?

You can change the grade for a student’s speech assignment by updating the rubric or adjusting the points awarded, depending on your webtext settings.

Students will receive a notification in their webtext when you post a new grade. For more information, visit our article, How do students view their grades for speech assignments?

You can find video assignments by either navigating to the webtext page that contains the assignment or by selecting the page from Analytics.

Tip: If you’d like to know exactly which pages contain speech assignments, use the Index of Speech Assignments page at the end of the webtext’s Table of Contents.

When you’ve located the assignment, you’ll see all of the recordings that have been submitted so far. Recordings that have already been graded will have the grade listed below the video thumbnail.

Select the video for which you’d like to change the grade. Once selected, click the Clipboard icon in the middle of the video recorder to open the Rubrics tab.

From the Rubrics tab, click Unpost Rubric in the bottom right of the video recorder.

Complete the rubric by selecting a rating for each of the criteria. In the bottom left of the Rubrics tab, you’ll see the total points update as you make your selections.

When you’re done, click Post Rubric.

From the Rubrics tab, Click Unpost Rubric in the bottom right of the video recorder.

In the text field, enter the new number of points you’d like to award and click Post Rubric.
