Grading

Grades record to your MLL Gradebook automatically, as you complete and submit exercise attempts in Medical Language Lab.

Once the due date for an MLL assignment passes, any incomplete exercises within that assignment will be scored as 0%, so make sure to complete all of your assigned exercises on time to avoid lowering your grade!

The Grading Rule for each exercise dictates how that exercise will be scored, and you'll see the Grading Rule for an exercise specified on the "Review" popup that appears after its final question. Most instructors will choose to score your MLL assignments using the "Practice and then Grade" Grading Rule. 

Different exercises within a module may be scored using different Grading Rules, and the Grading Rules you may encounter within MLL are: 

• Practice and then Grade - Gives you the option to review the results you would've gotten on an exercise attempt, without recording that exercise's results within your Gradebook. You'll be able to re-take an exercise, until you're confident enough at the end of an attempt to submit it. Please refer to the "'Practice and then Grade' Grading Rule" section below, for more information on this Grading Rule. 
• Grade on First Attempt - Your score for this exercise will be recorded in your Gradebook as soon as you complete it. Though you'll be able to review the results you got on your first attempt, you won't be allowed to re-take the exercise for a higher score. All your Module Tests, found in the "Review" activity type of an assignment, will be scored using this Grading Rule. 
• Manually Graded - Only applies to Generation exercises, which aren't included within every textbook's MLL content. Your instructor will personally grade your submitted attempts, and you won't see a grade for those attempts until they do so. 
• Grade by Participation - You'll be scored based on your completion level of exercises. If you answer every question within a given exercise, before the exercise's due date, you'll receive full credit for that exercise. 
• Practice Only - Exercises given this Grading Rule are optional, and your attempt scores won't be recorded in your Gradebook. Some exercise types within the Practice activity type of a module will always be set to this Grading Rule, most notably the "Flash Cards" and "Crosswords" exercises you might find in every MLL assignment. 

"Practice and then Grade" Grading Rule

If your instructor has set exercises with the "Practice and then Grade" Grading Rule, you'll see "Review" and "Submit" buttons on your Review popups.

As detailed on the Review Popup for this Grading Rule, clicking the "Review" button at the end of an exercise attempt will show you the correct answers and the score you would've gotten for the exercise, but will not record your score for that attempt. Additionally, clicking "Review" will require you to redo that exercise, until you're confident enough at the end of an attempt to click "Submit." 

You must click "Submit" at the end of an exercise attempt, for a score to be recorded. A grade will not recorded until you click "Submit," and you cannot improve your grade once you have clicked "Submit."
