# ◾ OEQS Scoring Page

The **Open-Ended Questions Scoring** module's **Scoring** tab allows graders to view questions and responses concisely while evaluating data entry in the same workspace.

## Resizeable Panels

OEQS graders can resize panels according to their preferences by dragging panel borders:


:::info
Note

Panel size settings are saved while OEQS graders switch between the **OEQS Dashboard** and the **Scoring** page. Panel settings are discarded once users exit the entire module, i.e., go to their [**Dashboard**](/doc/658add64-473e-422b-9362-a059e4ebc288).

## Learners Panel

The OEQS graders can click any learner on the left to score; the **Responses** panel in the middle adjusts accordingly.

When switching between learners, the **Responses** tab remains on the same selected question.

## Responses Panel

The **Responses** panel in the middle contains all the questions from the selected checklist. Questions are also arranged into sections, following the checklist's sectioning.

Learner responses appear embedded inside each question:

Responses or entire sections can be minimized per preference using the drop-down arrows included for each question and section:

OEQS graders can keep track of incomplete checklist submissions: every question included in the selected checklist is featured inside **Responses**, even if there is no response submitted for a question.

### **Already Scored Responses**


:::success
When a faculty member clicks “Submit” on an already scored response, a pop-up shows the following text:

 “*This response has already been scored. Are you certain you want to apply a new score?*”

Proceed with either the “OK” or “Cancel” option.

**NOTE**: The function is available for ***direct / keyword / checklist-scored*** questions.

### Next Learner Option

Once all scorable responses have been scored on a learner's checklist, the **Next Learner** option will appear at the bottom of the **Scoring** panel.  
By clicking **Next Learner**, the OEQS user will be forwarded to the next learner who has unscored responses:

### Scoring Drafts

The **Scoring** page automatically retains unsubmitted scores as drafts, so OEQS users will not lose progress while navigating away from a question or learner inside the OEQS module.

As soon as OEQS graders enter scores or notes in the **Scoring** panel on the right, a yellow draft status is added to the question, section, and selected learner, indicating that grading is in progress but not submitted yet:


:::warning
Drafts are available if the OEQS grader does not leave the module. If users return to their [**Dashboards**](/doc/658add64-473e-422b-9362-a059e4ebc288), **their scoring drafts will be discarded.** Scores are saved permanently only by submission.
