Feedback Aide API Evaluation Options

Configures the grading style to suit the context of the evaluation or assessment.

You would want to use this to adjust the strictness of grading based on the context, for example, using a more generous style for formative assessments and a harsher style for summative assessments.

Examples

// Example for evaluate endpoints
{
    "options": {
        "grading": {
            "marking_style": "generous"
        }
    }
}

// Example using the JavaScript API
const feedbackSession = await feedbackApp.feedbackSession(
    { /* security token */ },
    {
        state: '...',
        session_uuid: '...',
        // ...

        options: {
            grading: {
                marking_style: "generous"
            }
        },
    }
);
