Updated on

It is possible to have the assessment marked atuomatically by Cirrus, with only closed questions. The question types that need to be used in the assessment are described in this article.

The faculty coordinator of your faculty also needs to select a setting before the automated marking can take place. Discuss the options with your coordinator.

  • Go to Assessment in the navigation on the left and navigate to the assessment you want to have marked automatically.

You can only publish when all steps have been done:

  1. Give the assessement a name.
  2. Set options for the assessment.
  3. Select a pool of questions.
  4. Create Forms.

Click on Publish
