Convenor

What are the icons in the table header for?

If any information is incorrect, please contact your departmental co-ordinator.

The enhanced convenor table displays a list of courses for which you are the assessment convenor.

The new easy-access features are:

• You can quickly identify courses where you need to take some action such as entering or editing marks, and those where there is no work to do right now!
• A simple drop-down 'Action list' takes you to pages where you can enter this information
• One click takes you to course details, teaching group details, conflation and exam details and a full list of assessments

Your course Action list gives you a set of quick links to the pages where you need to fill in some information or be aware of particular situations. The different links displayed here are:

• Not all assessments generated for the current academic year
  No action is needed here, but you should be aware that one or more of the contributory assessments for this course have not yet been set up. Until the assessment is set up it will not appear on student timetables nor will you be able to mark it. If you click on this link, it will take you to a list of all the assessments for this course.
• Set date
  When assessments are created from the syllabus, they may not have been given default day and time for the submission deadline. If they do not have a day and time set, they will not appear on student timetables, and you will not be able to delegate them or enter marks for them. To add the day and time for an assessment, click on this link.
• Chase tutor
  The submission deadline has passed for a delegated assessment, and not all marks have been sent by the tutors.
• Enter
  The submission deadline has passed for a non-delegated assessment, and you have not yet entered all the marks. To enter marks for an assessment, click on this link.
• Release marks
  All marks have been entered for this assessment, but you have not yet released it to the students. At the moment, these marks will not be visible to the students on their Sussex Direct Study pages. Click on the link to go to the page where you can release these marks.

Click on the n groups link in the 'Groups' column to view a list of all the teaching groups for this course.

The Conflate/Send to Exams link in the 'Manage Course' column takes you to a list of all students. You can conflate their marks, send marks to exams and view the finalised marks from the exam system on this page. It also displays the conflation rule for coursework on the course.

Clicking on the Marks Register link in the 'Manage Course' column shows all contributory marks recorded for students taking this course.

The Assessments column displays the total number of contributory assessments, and shows the number that have been delegated for each course. If you click on the link, you can view a list of all assessments, edit and delegate them, and enter and update marks for them.

Tips
