Configuring Action (Evaluation Sections)
Posted February 04, 2019
For actions with an action Category of Evaluation, editing the action has an additional tab for Sections.
Example: The SAT has multiple graded sections: Reading, Writing and Language, Math, and Essay. Each one of these is added as a separate section. The scores that you record for each section depends on the Scoring Category associated with the action. For an SAT scoring category, you might want to record a Raw Score and Percentile, which are set up with the Scoring Category. Later, when recording a specific evaluation for a student, you are able to enter the Raw Score and Percentile for each section of the SAT action.
Example: An Admissions Interview action may have multiple sections: Academic Assessment, Community Involvement, Personal Assessment. The scores that you record for each section depends on the Scoring Category associated with the action. For Admissions Interview, you may want to create a new Scoring Category with a Score Entry Type that allows a numeric entry of 1 through 5.
Note: The Evaluation Site dropdown options are configurable by using the Test Sites link in the upper right corner of the “actions” tab in the Edit Action popup.
