Abstract

The phases of a grading system are discussed, namely: delivery, assessment, marking, review, and return. A system which addresses the back end, namely, the last three phases, is described. Late binding of marks to a graded project is used, simplifying the revision process. The use of the system by various courses and its benefits are discussed.
