Submissions

When an assessor opens a schedule to mark, it will lead to the Submissions tab. Here they'll find all the scripts they need to assess. This page explains the Submissions tab and Progress report tab.

In Cirrus you can easily mark candidates or items of any assessment available for Marking. It depends on the type of questions (open versus closed) and your preferred approach for scoring on how to do this.
