Go to the Assessment setting tab (you can change these settings in general and personal exams):
1. Type of examination: Select whether the exam will determine the entire grade of the course or only part of the grade in addition to other assignments. The whole course grade will be transferred from Exam to the register after locking the assessment. Maturity test is always whole course grade.
2. Grading scale: The information about the course grade scale is forwarded from the Peppi -system to the Exam -system. The grading scale has been selected in the "Grading scale" section, but you can change the scale for the exam. If there is no grading scale in the Peppi -system, you must choose 0-5 (0=fail) or pass/fail as the grade scale for the exam. Maturity test grading scale is always pass/fail.
3. Publication of questions and answers: You can enable the publication of questions and answers for students in the assessment settings (the function is not in use in a maturity test).
Default setting is that the publication of questions and answers is not in use in the exam.
If you enable the publication of questions and answers in the exam, students will see, in addition to the grade, total score, task-specific score, and feedback on the exam, the questions they had on the exam and their own answers. From the multiple-choices, the student will only see the options they have chosen, not all of the answer options.
You can change the publishing setting for questions and answers until you lock the first assessment.
To enable the release of questions and answers, click the arrow below:
Select "Enable" and then "Save".
4. Automatic evaluation: You can enable automatic evaluation in general and personal exams where every question is a multiple choice or fill-in question. (for more information, see the instructions for different question types)
To turn on the automatic evaluation process, go to the page titled "Assessment setting". Click on the down arrow next to “Automatic evaluation (Not in use)” and then select “Use” to turn on the automatic evaluation process.
A new set of options will appear. Specify your evaluation criteria percentage in the total score (you can use only integer) and when the results of the automatic evaluation will be shown to the student. If you select “no automatic notification”, the system will only calculate the grade and transfer the results to the “Assessed exams” list, results of the automatic evaluation will not be shown to the student (students can see the grades after you have selected “Lock and inform the student” to lock their submission). See more 4.1.2. Automatically evaluated exams
Finally, save your evaluation settings or save and publish the exam (the exam will be made available to students for registration).
When you publish an exam, students can register for to the exam and reserve a time during the exam period that you have specified (students can book a time one month in advance, and only take the exam during the timeslot the exam is open)
Go to the exam's Publish tab for the following options:
If a student aborted the exam, you can release the exam for retries in the Assessment tab (see Retrying an exam).
You have to inform students, that the exam is bookable. You can send the registration link for the students of the general exam (at the bottom of the Publish -page) or add information of its availability e.g. into the course home page Moodle and into the study guide. Student can copy‐paste the registration link to the address row of the browser and can directly register for the exam and make reservation. Students can also find exam from Exams- system by find box (e.g. with the course code or name of the teacher) and make reservation in Exam-system.
Remember that you can still modify the exam period and questions of an exam even after the exam has been published. However, after the first person has signed up for the exam, your ability to modify the exam will be restricted, e.g. you will not be able to shorten the exam period. The system will notify you if your modification options have been limited (see editin exams).
During the exam period, examiners and assessors can view the exam on the Active exams list, where you will find a list of exam registrations and submissions. The ‘unassessed’ column lists all completed exams that you can evaluate. (see assessing exams). The EXAM system sends you a weekly digest of all exam registrations and unassessed exams.
When an exam’s exam period is over and there are unassessed exam submissions, the exam is moved to the Unassessed exams list.
After you have assessed every submission, the exam is moved to the Archived exams list.
When you publish an exam, students can register for to the exam and reserve a time during the exam period that you have specified (students can book a time one month in advance, and only take the exam during the timeslot the exam is open)
