You can score the student's answer as correct or incorrect, or as partially correct or partially incorrect using the provided scoring rubric: 
For each card, teachers have an option to give full or partial credits, ranging from:

  • 0 = 0
  • 1 = 0.25
  • 2 = 0.5
  • 3 = 0.75
  • 4 = 1
0 = 01 = 0.252 = 0.53 = 0.754 = 1Which is equivalent to 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%, the maximum score for a card is 100% and the minimum score for a card is 0%.

If you see a purple speech bubble in your students' individual reports, that means you have a card to manually grade.
