This view is helpful for instructors looking to analyze performance by item, time spent, and scoring trends ### **Key Components of the Report** ![Screenshot 2025-05-19 at 1.14.12 PM](https://support.atomicjolt.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-05-19%20at%201.14.12%20PM.png?width=688&height=662&name=Screenshot%202025-05-19%20at%201.14.12%20PM.png) **1. Student** The **Student** column lists the names of students who have accessed or submitted the assessment. Each name is clickable, leading to a more detailed view of the student’s attempt(s) in SpeedGrader.   **2. Time Spent** This column shows the **total time** each student spent on the assessment during their latest attempt. Hovering over the info icon next to “1m” gives you more context about how time is calculated.   **3. Score** Displays the student’s **overall percentage score** for the attempt. If a dash appears (–), it means the attempt has not been submitted or scored.   **4. Item Tabs (Item 1, Item 2, etc.)** Each **Item** column corresponds to a **question** on the assessment. The score in each cell represents the number of points the student earned for that specific question. •Green check (✔️) = Correct •Red X (❌) = Incorrect or no points earned You can hover over each item’s title (e.g., Item 1 - /5) to see the maximum possible points and a description of the question.   **5. Sections Dropdown** The **Sections** dropdown lets you filter the results by course section. By default, this is set to **All sections**, but you can narrow the view to a specific section of your course.   **6. Refresh Button** The **Refresh (⟳)** icon reloads the data to ensure you are viewing the most up-to-date information, especially useful if students are actively taking or submitting the assessment.   **7. Download Button** The **Download (⬇)** button exports the report as a **CSV file**, which can be opened in Excel or other spreadsheet programs for further analysis.   **8. Sliders Button** The **Sliders**  icon opens a menu with **display options**, such as: •**Show all attempts** – Displays multiple attempts per student. •**Show time spent** – Toggles the visibility of the “Time Spent” column. ### **Rubrics Section** Below the score table, you’ll find an option to **add a rubric** to the assignment. This section allows you to: •Create custom **criteria** and **ratings** for performance. •Set **point values** per criterion. •Link rubrics to **Outcomes** for Learning Mastery tracking. •Enable or disable options such as: •Free-form comments •Point removal from rubric •Assignment grading integration •Hiding rubric totals from students ⚠️ **Important Note:** Applying a rubric to an Atomic Assessment **does not affect scoring on live student submissions**. Rubrics are only used when **manually regrading** submissions via SpeedGrader. They serve as a guideline for instructors but are not calculated automatically by the system for initial scoring.   The **Question Scores** report is a powerful tool for quickly identifying which questions were most challenging, how students performed individually and as a group, and how much time was spent on the assessment. Pairing this report with the **rubrics** feature provides even deeper insight into student performance and instructional effectiveness.   - [Atomic Jolt Customer FAQs](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-jolt-customer-faqs?hsLang=en) - [Atomic Assessments](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-assessments?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Release Notes](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-assessments?hsLang=en#release-notes) - [Authoring Assessments](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-assessments?hsLang=en#authoring-assessments) - [For Nursing](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-assessments?hsLang=en#for-nursing) - [Content Management](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-assessments?hsLang=en#content-management) - [Question Types](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-assessments?hsLang=en#question-types) - [Grading & Feedback](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-assessments?hsLang=en#grading-feedback) - [Reports](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-assessments?hsLang=en#reports) - [Import and Export](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-assessments?hsLang=en#import-and-export) - [Advanced Features](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-assessments?hsLang=en#advanced-features) - [Proctoring](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-assessments?hsLang=en#proctoring) - [Installation Guides](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-assessments?hsLang=en#installation-guides) - [FAQ for Atomic Assessments](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-assessments?hsLang=en#faq-for-atomic-assessments) - [Adaptive Assessments](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-assessments?hsLang=en#adaptive-assessments) - [Learning Standards](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-assessments?hsLang=en#learning-standards) - [Brightspace](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-assessments?hsLang=en#brightspace) - [Canvas](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-assessments?hsLang=en#canvas) - [Publishers](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-assessments?hsLang=en#publishers) - [Admin Features](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-assessments?hsLang=en#admin-features) - [Atomic Search](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-search?hsLang=en#main-content) - [FAQs](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-search?hsLang=en#faqs) - [Using Search](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-search?hsLang=en#using-search) - [Admin Features](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-search?hsLang=en#admin-features) - [Content Indexing](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-search?hsLang=en#content-indexing) - [Reports & Analytics](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-search?hsLang=en#reports-analytics) - [Brightspace Support](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-search?hsLang=en#brightspace-support) - [Canvas Support](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-search?hsLang=en#canvas-support) - [Atomic Journals](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-journals?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Course Authors](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-journals?hsLang=en#course-authors) - [Student Experience](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-journals?hsLang=en#student-experience) - [Atomic Polls](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-polls?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Course Authors](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-polls?hsLang=en#course-authors) - [Student Experience](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-polls?hsLang=en#student-experience) - [Course Copy](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-polls?hsLang=en#course-copy) - [Atomic Discussions](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-discussions?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Course Authors](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-discussions?hsLang=en#course-authors) - [Student Experience](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-discussions?hsLang=en#student-experience) - [Atomic Author](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-author?hsLang=en) - [Atomic Socialize](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-socialize?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Release Notes](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-socialize?hsLang=en#release-notes) - [Atomic Curriculum Analysis Tool](https://support.atomicjolt.com/knowledgebase/atomic-curriculum-analysis-tool?hsLang=en) [![Atomic Jolt Logo Horiz Small](https://support.atomicjolt.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Atomic%20Jolt%20Logo%20Horiz%20Small.png?width=164&height=60&name=Atomic%20Jolt%20Logo%20Horiz%20Small.png "Atomic Jolt Logo Horiz Small")](https://www.atomicjolt.com) Copyright © 2025, Atomic Jolt
