3. In the Results section, specify these parameters:

• Bonus score — if applicable, award reward points (for example, for being active in classes or completing an assignment early).
• Penalty score — if applicable, award penalty points (for example, if a learner submitted the assignment later than the announced deadline).
• General feedback — enter a short comment to the learner on the assignment as a whole (for example, if some answers require corrections, explain this, provide recommendations for topics for more detailed study, etc.).

1. Ensure that you have graded all the questions. Click Send the grade for approval. The assessment results will be sent to the supervisor for confirmation.

The supervisor will review the grade that you have given to the assignment. After that, they either will approve it or return the assignment to you for a repetitive assessment.
