Feedback and grades

For students. Where to see what you got, and what each state means.

Two places, same data

In the notebook. After you submit, the feedback panel under that question fills in: the score, which conditions passed, and the message for each one that did not. This is the fast loop — submit, read, fix, submit again if attempts allow.

On the grader's website. Sign in there and you get everything: every assignment, every attempt, every score and comment.

This is the one that matters at the end of term. A MoLab session can be deleted, a laptop can die, a browser can be cleared — the grader still has every notebook you submitted and every score it earned.

What the states mean

You see	It means
A score	graded, and released to you
waiting for grade	submitted; a person has not read it yet
grading	the automatic run is still going, normally under a minute
failed	the grader could not run your notebook. Not a zero — a problem for your instructor, who has a Retry button
A dash	nothing submitted for that question

A score your instructor saved without releasing still reaches you: the portal shows it like any other, and the notebook labels it Provisional score; a final grade may follow. Treat a provisional mark as exactly that — it can change before it is finalised.

Reading autograded feedback

Each condition your instructor wrote has a message and a weight. Feedback lists the ones that failed with their messages, so a partly-right answer gets partial credit and a specific complaint rather than a bare number.

A failed condition you never saw in Check is a hidden test.

If the feedback says your check cells were restored before grading, it means the cells containing the tests differ from the published assignment — usually an accidental edit while working near them. The instructor's versions are used, so this costs you nothing by itself.

Which attempt counts

Whichever your instructor's policy says: the latest, the highest, the first, or one they pinned. The assignment page tells you which. Every attempt is kept and visible either way, so a bad last attempt is only bad if the policy is latest — and you can usually submit again.

An assignment's grade is the sum of its questions.

If you think a grade is wrong

Ask your instructor. Two things are worth knowing before you do.

Every score has a history: who set it, when, what it was before, and any reason given. So "this changed and I do not know why" is an answerable question, not a matter of memory.

And your submitted notebook is on the server exactly as you sent it. A regrade needs nothing from you — you do not need to keep a copy, re-upload anything, or prove what you submitted.
