Configuring manually assessed Jupyter Notebook labs

If a Jupyter Notebook lab contains at least one manually assessed task, it is considered manually assessed and a learner gets the results for the whole lab only after an instructor checks it.

To configure a manually assessed lab:

1. In the Jupyter Notebook lab you created, open the .ipynb file.
2. Add a cell with a task. Select the Markdown content type for this cell.
3. Add a cell for the learner's input (answer) and leave it selected. Select the required content type for this cell.
4. Click Create Assignment on the rightmost bar.
5. Locate the assignment corresponding to the selected cell (it will be highlighted).
6. In the Type list, select Manually graded answer to indicate that this cell must be checked manually by an instructor. In the Points field, specify the maximum score for the correct answer.
7. Repeat steps 1–6 to add all the lab content.

After a learner submits this lab, the lab status changes to In review, and after an instructor checks the tasks requiring manual assessment and submits the grade, the lab status changes to Graded and the result become available to the learner.
