How to review and score student work in Buzz
Teachers can review student work and score student work right within Buzz. Grades are automatically synced to the Buzz gradebook.
Grade pass back
When a student turns in an assignment, Savvas Realize will pass back to the Buzz gradebook either:
A score if the item is auto-scored or
A comment indicating the item has to be manually scored by the teacher.
In the example below, the "1-1: Student Edition Practice" needs to be manually scored by the teacher. Savvas Realize has left a comment notifying the teacher the activity was completed but is pending manual grading.
Opening the Savvas assignment to review and score
To review and score the student's work you will need to open the Savvas Realize assignment in Buzz. To do this, simply click on the material name to open up the assignment.

Review and score student work
There are many different assignment types and different types may have slightly different workflows. All you need to do is to select the student you want to grade. Once you select the student you can:
Review the students work.
Give them a score, unless it was auto-scored.
Provide comments.
In the example below, all students were given an automatic score of 100% for the assignment since it was just practice. You can review and change the score if needed. The updated score is entered in the Score text field.
Click on Comments and scroll to the bottom to leave a comment to the student.
Grade pass back to Buzz
Once you provide a grade to the student or the assignment was auto-scored, Savvas Realize passes the grade back to your Buzz Gradebook.
