How do I view student scores, progress, & responses?

If you are using an LMS, the lesson scores are automatically pushed to your LMS gradebook for each student when they either complete a lesson attempt (and close the displayed dialog box) or restart the lesson (top right in the lesson Display Options).
  1. Access Argos either by logging in or accessing it in your LMS, then click Manage and under Grading, select View all Grades.
  2. To view student progress, showing whether a student has started a lesson (a score indicates at least one completed attempt), check the box Shows links for all entries.
  3. If you would like to see an individual student’s score by attempt, you can click on their score, then scroll down and review attempts under Attempt History. You can also view student responses (see below).
  4. If desired, you can download the student scores as a CSV (Excel) spreadsheet by going to Manage in Argos, then click Download Gradebook as .csv file under Grading.

To review progress for one student:

  1. Access Argos either by logging in or accessing it in your LMS, then click Manage in the header banner in Argos, and under Manage, select Manage Enrollments.
  2. Search or click on the name of the student you would like to review and you will be able to see some analytics.

Reviewing Student Responses

If you would like to see what a student has done in a particular lesson:

  1. Access Argos either by logging in or accessing it in your LMS, then Manage in Argos and under Grading, select View all Grades.
  2. Click on a student’s score, then scroll down and review attempts under Attempt History.
  3. Select the lesson attempt you would like to view. This will open up the student’s completed lesson attempt and you can navigate the lesson by using the arrows bottom left of the screen or the lesson history by opening up the display options top right and toggling the Lesson History button.

Manual Grading

Manual Grading enables instructors and teaching assistants to review learner responses for a component, and assign points based on manual assessment. This is useful for components with subjective responses, which cannot be accurately graded without instructor input. 

To manually score the Blue Planet Report in Unit 7:

  1. Enter your BioBeyond, then select Manage in Argos and under Grading, select Score Manually Graded Activities.
  2. Click on the Activity you would like to score and review.
