Overview
The Assessments sub-menu under the Student main menu in Paradigm will show you the student course academic progress, will let you edit assessments results, will let you edit unit results (all students enrolled to the scheduled unit), and will also upload student's assessment files or projects in the system. This knowledge article will provide you the workflow on how to edit, delete, auto update the grade assessments results per student, and edit unit results to all other students enrolled to the same scheduled unit and assessments.

NOTE
The following mentioned fields and information under this Assessments page in Paradigm are included to show you the possible scope (when it comes to the assessments area) our system could support. Some fields may not be visible in your institution’s site as we considered the applicability and relevance of the fields during the onboarding process.
Student > Course Enrolment > Assessments Page Sections
A. STUDENT COURSE ACADEMIC PROGRESS FOR BITS Section
This section will provide you with an overall summary of the academic progress of the student. This contains all the credit points granted, earned, enrolled, the student’s GPA, weighted GPA, and the total credit points. This way, it would be easier for you to track as to how the student is progressing with his or her studies.
B. UNIT ENROLLED BY STUDENT Section
This section contains all the units enrolled by a student with all the fine details of the start date, the current status of the enrolment, contact mode, class number, the number of assessment results and scheduled assessments, current-average-projected unit mark, projected unit grade, entered unit mark, and the entered unit grade. Each unit enrolment record has also an ACTIONS button to let you edit and upload assessments related to the unit.
C. EDIT ASSESSMENTS RESULTS Section
This section is where you can edit the raw mark, awarded mark, awarded grade, and status – any changes you will make on this section will also give you an option to auto update the grade, and to increase the efficiency of the process, you can also just copy the raw mark to the awarded mark and auto update the grade . You also have the option to edit the fine details of the assessment (where you can see the original awarded mark or grade if there are any), and delete the assessment whenever it’s no longer applicable to the scheduled unit of the student.
D. The EDIT UNIT RESULTS Button
This button will let you view all the units associated with the scheduled assessments in all the courses (if the student happen to be enrolled in another course) the student has been enrolled to, and all other students who are enrolled to the same scheduled unit. You can update the grade description, enrolment status, and the Dest Enrolment Status, etc. You can even publish results from here. Refer to the screenshot below to see all the possible features you can do with the EDIT UNIT RESULTS button.
Implications
INFO
The appearance (fields and buttons) of the student-summary-assessments screen is highly customisable on a per site basis. The contents of this article refer to what is typically used in a standard deployment of Paradigm.
NOTE
When running an Assessment Results Report in Paradigm, please take note, that the assessment results section would only allow in between 1 to 6 assessments per scheduled unit, exceeding this count will cause the template to fail.
As an alternative, you can use the base report named “Scheduled Assessment View Details” to help you extract a list of assessments from Paradigm. For more information on our Report Builder Menu, refer to this article: Report Builder.
