More detailed instructions:

2.      When you are logged in, you will be on the My Desk page.  On the left hand column under heading "Collaboration", click on the link Reviews.

3.      If your students have sent items for you to review, you should have a list of items under the heading, “Received for Review”.  Choose the item you want to grade (assess).  On the right hand side under actions, click on the link review.  You should see the document. On the top right of the document you will see the links, “assess, submit, exit, print…”. 

4.      When you are ready to grade, click on the link Assess.

5.      A pop-up window will appear entitled, “Assessment chooser”.  The dropdown menu will show 'My Work' or 'Assessments' depending on your account setup. Follow these steps in the assessment chooser window.

b.      Look for the appropriate rubric. 
(Note: If the document cannot be found, select "all" from menu.  If it is still not showing, the document has not been shared with you. The LiveText coordinator or person who made the rubric must share it with you as a visitor.)
