You control when students see how they did. Scores can appear as they answer, once they submit, or only when you release them, for example after you have marked the open questions.
Show scores
| Setting | What students see |
|---|---|
| As they answer | Right or wrong straight away, question by question. |
| After they submit | Their scores once they have submitted. This is the default. |
| When I release them | Nothing until you press Release results or close the assignment. |

Correct answers
With Show correct answers on, students see the answer key together with their scores, but only when they can no longer try again: once they have no attempts left, or when you release results or close the assignment. This stops students from copying the answers into a new attempt.
Hand work back to one student
To let one student improve their work, open their answer on the live view and press Hand back. Their attempt reopens so they can change their answers and submit again. The button is not available when the due date has passed and late work is off; change the due date first.
What students see with their results
- Your score, with a note if some answers are still being graded.
- Points for each question, and per criterion when you used a rubric.
- The late penalty, if the work was handed in after the due date.
- Passed or Not passed yet when there is a pass mark, and a Download certificate button if you turned certificates on.
