Review Student Responses

Math Equation Response questions are auto-graded, but can be reviewed. Review both scanned form responses and online responses in the Responses tab.

1. Review collected responses By Question to quickly go over auto-graded responses.

2. Provide specific Feedback on a student's response to provide additional clarification.

Teachers may also add student responses manually if needed. The following image shows how the field to manually add student responses for MER question types will appear depending on how the student submitted their response(s).
