Frequently asked questions about when Derivita sends grades to your LMS gradebook
Why doesn't this student's grade appear in the gradebook?
It's most likely that they just need to click "Send Grade" or "Submit" on the summary page.
It could also be the case that one or some of the questions are waiting to be hand-graded. If an assignment contains only auto-graded questions, it will sync to the gradebook as it normally would. However, if it contains at least one hand-graded question, the teacher must click "send to gradebook" in order for the grades to publish.
Why does this student have a 0 on this assignment, even though they didn't work on it?
If they ever opened the assignment, they'll get a grade for it when the due date passes, the time limit is reached, or a teacher makes certain changes, like disabling a question or syncing grades manually.
How do I give 0's to students that didn't complete an assignment?
Derivita can only give a grade to a student if they've opened the assignment, so we recommend using your LMS to add 0s for missing assignments.
For example, if you use Canvas, you can use "Set Default Grade", as explained below:
Set Default Grade | Instructure Community
Can I manually enter a grade in the LMS gradebook for a Derivita assignment?
Doing so won't cause any problems, though Derivita may overwrite the grade you give, if the student continues to work on the assignment.
For that reason, we recommend adjusting scores directly within Derivita.
Should I sync grades manually?
You don't need to. Doing so will probably make some grades appear in the gradebook sooner, which might surprise some students by showing them low grades for assignments that they're still working on.
If an assignment contains only auto-graded questions, Derivita still sync the grades automatically to the gradebook as normal. However, if it contains at least one hand-graded question, the teacher must click "send to gradebook" in order for the grades to publish.
