What does submitting for students mean?
There may be cases in which you wish you could submit on behalf of your student. Maybe they forgot to submit an assignment or they were simply taking a test and time was up. No matter the case, you can use our "Submit for students" feature!
When you submit for students, Formative automatically scores the student's unanswered questions (if the question has an answer key). It will also trigger any returning of scores or answers that you may have set when assigning.
Submit for multiple students in a class:
You can submit for multiple students at once. Here's how to do it:
From the "Responses" tab, make sure you are on the "Totals" view
Next to the class in which you'd like to submit for students, click on the icon (lightning bolt, lock or suitcase) to expand the drop down menu.
From the options, select "Submit for students".
Deselect any students you don't want to submit for using the checkbox, and click "Submit"!
As a default, all students in the class, who have yet to submit, will be check marked. However you can un-check any of them you'd like to exclude from the mass submission.
Once submitted, you will see any unanswered questions are now available to score!
If you toggle "Grade empty responses as zero" to green, this will automatically assign any unanswered question a score of "0".
Submit for a single student:
To submit for a single student, you can repeat the process above and leave only this student check-marked, or follow these steps:
From the "Responses" tab, make sure you are on the "Totals" view
Click on a student's name to open the right-side panel
Within the right side panel, click on the triple dots to expand the drop down menu
Click on " Submit for student" and proceed to confirm
Once submitted, hovering over a student's total score will display information about the student's interaction with the formative, including mention the formative was submitted on behalf of the student by the teacher:
