Reports: how your class is doing

What the four headline numbers mean, where the weak courses are listed, and why "submitted" is a fraction.

Reports follows your class and every student, course by course. It opens on the class in the chip at the top, and Export takes the current view out as a file.

The tabs #

  • Overview — the class as a whole.
  • Students — the same picture per person.
  • Mistakes — what the class gets wrong, which is what feeds mistake-based test generation.
  • Practice — split into General, Speaking Scenarios, Independent Speaking and Essay Writing, because practice is not marked the way coursework is.

The four headline numbers #

The Reports overview: students, courses, class average and submitted, with the Below 60% and At or above 80% lists

Students assigned — how many people have work, and across how many assignments. If this is lower than your class size, somebody joined after you assigned.

Courses assigned — how many pieces of work exist, and the share the class has completed.

Class average — the average score, and underneath it how many scored submissions it is calculated from. Read that second number first: an average over four submissions is not a class average, it is four students.

Submitted — a fraction, like 131/500: pieces handed in out of pieces assigned. The gap is work nobody has done.

Below 60% and At or above 80% #

Two lists, named by threshold. Below 60% is the one to act on — courses where the class average is under sixty, worst first, each with its score. A course sitting at 0.0% usually means nobody has submitted it rather than that everyone failed; check the submitted fraction before you re-teach anything.

At or above 80% fills in as the class gets there. "No course has reached the threshold yet" is a statement about the courses, not about the students.

Course success and score distribution #

Course success ranks your courses by average score, best first — useful for deciding what to assign the next class.

Score distribution shows how the marks spread, which the class average hides. A 50% average made of half 90s and half 10s is a different class from one where everybody got 50.
