How to use the Self Evaluation Question Type

Use case 1: Student gives themselves a score (no rubric)

What it’s for:

A simple self-assessment where the student picks a number as their score.

How it works:

• You add a Self Evaluation question to an assessment.

• Set how many points it’s worth.

• The student enters the score they think they earned.

• That number becomes their score for the question.

When to use it:

• Participation or effort grading

• Reflection activities

• “What score do you think you deserve?” questions

Use case 2: Instructor scores themselves using a rubric

What it’s for:

Letting Instructors pick a score that matches a rubric level.

How it works:

• The assignment uses a rubric.

• The Self Evaluation question is tied to a specific rubric score.

• The teacher selects the score.

• That score fills in the rubric during grading.

What instructors see:

• The rubric shows the teachers chosen level.

• If the instructor changes it later, SpeedGrader shows “Rubric Overridden.”
