Marking a PDF upload submission (FLOWassign)

A FLOWmulti exam is an exam that is authored on the AssessmentUCL (WISEflow) platform. The benefits for marking are that markers can be allocated to a specific section of the exam to mark. However FLOWmulti exams do not have Turnitin reports for markers, nor do they allow for in-line annotation e.g. highlighting, free hand draw. To learn more, please see the Getting started with AssessmentUCL (WISEflow) guide.

For FLOWassign submissions, students are being asked to submit their response as a single PDF. Hence it will NOT be possible to allocate markers to specific questions in the platform (i.e. section based marking) for this assessment type.
In AssessmentUCL (WISEflow), it is possible for different markers to record marks for specific questions using the annotation tool. However totalling marks would need to be done manually, most likely by the Module Lead. Marking questions in AssessmentUCL (WISEflow) is not a requirement, and you might find it easier to instead use a Department spreadsheet.
Please see the video (7ms 1s) below from last year which demonstrates an approach to recording question marks within AssessmentUCL (WISEflow).

There are two approaches to reconciling marks on AssessmentUCL (WISEflow).
Marker agreement: markers must agree and submit the same grade.
Reviewer approval: markers can submit different grades which a nominated Reviewer then reconciles. The nominated reviewer could be one of the markers or the module lead*
...
| Note |
|---|
As of October 2022, a separate mark history is recorded on AssessmentUCL (WISEflow) which will show both marker's initial marks and then the final agreed upon mark. Markers can also add a comment documenting reasons for mark changes. The External Examiner will see the marking is agreed but can look into the mark history and at any comments left to find out more. |

You have submitted your marking. However, the co-assessor has submitted marks that differ from yours. This is symbolised by a warning sign next to the mark that you have submitted. There is currently no way to work through mark disagreements on AssessmentUCL (WISEflow), so you are best of communicating via Microsoft Teams to identify the work through the disagreed marks. Both markers must re-submit identical marks for each paper for marking to be accepted as final.
...
Choose whether you want the files downloaded in separate folders or one folder, and if you want the cover sheet inserted as the first page or included in a separate folder.
Click Request Zip. AssessmentUCL (WISEflow) will now start generating a ZIP file for you to download. The time needed to generate the file depends on the workload on the server and the size of the file you have requested. You can close the window and return later by clicking Download papers as a ZIP file again.

By pressing ‘Submit’, the assessment of the individual participant is registered.
This option will allow you to generate and download an Excel spreadsheet that can be used for offline assessment. The updated spreadsheet can be imported to AssessmentUCL (WISEflow) afterwards.

This button will show you the co-assessors for the assessment.

View: Word count
AssessmentUCL (WISEflow) provides a word count to markers. However, there is no standard word counting algorithm and its word count can differ from Microsoft Word. This was also the case with Turnitin's word count feature. The word count should therefore be used as indicative only.
