ThinkCERCA provides two mechanisms for grading Writing Lessons: Rubric Score and Quick Score.
Differences Between Quick Score and Rubric Score
Use the Quick Score to quickly and easily give students feedback on their writing. You may provide feedback and assign a personal growth focus to help students determine where they should concentrate their efforts on their next assignments. You can score assignments on a 4-point or 5-point scale with Quick Score.
Use the Rubric Score to provide consistent, standards-aligned feedback. In addition to providing input on your students' writing overall, you may include additional, specific comments on each component of the rubric. As in the Quick Score method, you may also assign each student a personal growth focus.
Hello Partners, follow these steps to grade and provide feedback on writing using Quick Score.

- Select the blue “Needs Feedback” icon from the progress bar on a class tile or select “View Class Planner” and select the icon from your assignment list.

- Select the score tile, provide students with overall feedback for their work and select a Growth Focus for the student from the dropdown.
