Accounting Teaching Assistant Extension: Settings

In this article

[This extension and this documentation is in development and is not in its final form]

The settings allow you to decide whether to assign an automatic score or not and to set the scores for each verified condition.

The settings must be configured in the teacher's file. These settings will be used when grading the students' files.

Available Settings in the teacher file

The currently available settings and their descriptions are as follows:

  • Score: allows you to decide whether or not to assign an automatic score to the student's accounting records.
  • Date Score: assigns a score if the date entered by the student matches the teacher's date.
    • If you do not wish to grade the date, you can set the date score to zero.
  • Debit Account Score: assigns a score if the entered debit account is correct.
  • Credit Account Score: assigns a score if the entered credit account is correct.
  • Amount Score: assigns a score if the entered amount is correct.
  • Debit/Credit Accounts calculated separately? : allows for separate scoring if the debit account and credit account are correct.
    • If the checkbox is checked the score is assigned separately even if one of the debit or credit accounts is incorrect.
    • If the checkbox is not checked the score is zero if the student gets both the debit and credit accounts wrong, or if only the debit or credit account is incorrect.
    • If the checkbox is not checked the score is only assigned when both the debit and credit accounts are correct.
      • In this case the Debit Account Score and Credit Account Score are added together as the final score assigned to the student.
