Single Assignment

Score analysis for a single assignment displays a score distribution graph representing all scores for the assignment. The percentages on this graph indicate the number of students who received that score. For example, the image below shows that about half of the students got a B- or higher on the assignment. Hover over each section of the graph to see the score it represents and how many students received that score.

Below the distribution, the breakdown section lists each student who has received a score, displaying score information and an individual graph.

Click one score or use SHIFT and CTRL keys to filter the breakdown. 

In this example, I want to create a student group of the students who received 60% or lower on the assignment so I can give them a followup assignment. Hold the CTRL key while clicking the lowest two scores on the distribution and then click Create Student Group and enter a name. The student group is then available to modify in the student group and to select on assignments.

Score analysis from the Settings menu of the Grade Book starts with just distributions of all assignments in section. Assignments display in order by Due Date, starting with the most recent.

Click on one or more sections in the distributions to view a list of students below.

Quizzes

Assignments with Quizzes have an additional Item Analysis section below the Student Breakdown. This item analysis section shows student performance on each question. The displayed information varies by question type.

The first column shows the question text. The second column indicates how many students got the question correct, incorrect, and partially correct. The third column indicates how many students selected each answer.
Click any links in the second and third columns to see a list of students who selected that answer and make a Student Group, if you have tool rights to the Student Groups tool.

Scoring Rubrics

Additional score information displays for assignments evaluated using Scoring Rubrics. See the articles about creating and scoring for more information about scoring rubrics.

Below the score distribution and student breakdown that display in score analysis, the scoring rubric displays. For each grid square, the number of students who met that criteria is shown, over the total number of students who have been scored.

View score analysis for assignments evaluated using scoring rubrics to see the total number of students who met each criteria. 

This feature can be helpful in determining where the class is succeeding and struggling. For example, in the image above, half the class got a 60% or lower on the Focus & Detail criteria, so I may want to focus more on topic sentences for our next essay.

Click on a grid square to see a list of students who met that criteria and create a Student Group of those students, if you have tool rights to the Student Groups tool.
