Assessing Students' Work - PDF Printer-Friendly Version

You can use assessment documents to assess any document that is sent to your review area. Follow the step-by-step instructions to assess a document.

  • Note: LiveText assessments use pop-up windows. Pop-up windows can be blocked by web browsers and by security software. In order to perform assessments, you must configure your web browser and your security software to allow pop-ups from livetext.com.

Choosing a Document to Assess

1. From within MyDesk, click the Reviews link located under the Collaboration menu.
2. To assess a document, click the document's corresponding review link.


When a student has requested that you review and/or assess a document, it will appear under the Received for Review tab.

Choosing an Assessment Document

When you click the Assess link, a pop-up Assessment Chooser window will open. Within this window, you can choose an assessment document from any of your labels.

Do not select an assessment from any other author, including yourself. Otherwise, the data you enter will not be submitted correctly.

NOTE: Make sure the Assessments that you use has the Author as CWU Administrator.

2. From the drop-down menu, choose the label that houses the assessment you would like to use.
