These are the terms most teachers will see first as they move from setup into grading and review.

Assessment workflow terms

Term

Meaning

Assessment

The full container for questions, answer keys, settings, grading, and sharing.

Needs review

A submission state that still needs teacher judgment before it should be treated as final.

Completed

The grading run is finished inside Classwise, but the result may not be visible to students yet.

Published

The current graded revision has been pushed through the publish path, usually to the LMS.

Emailed

The current graded revision has been sent directly to the student by feedback email.

Completion grading

An additional effort-based score path that can sit alongside accuracy grading.

Notes

  • Use these terms together with the status badges you see on the assessment table or single-student grading page before you decide what to do next.

These terms show up more often for school-level or LMS-connected workflows, but teachers still encounter them when classes or assessments are synced.

Integration and admin terms

Term

Meaning

LMS sync

Bringing in classes, rosters, assessments, or submissions from a connected LMS.

Pool credits

Institution-managed shared credits used across members instead of personal balances.

Focus areas

Analytics signals that highlight concepts worth reteaching or revisiting.

Time saved

A modeled estimate of grading efficiency, not a literal stopwatch total.

Notes

  • Use these definitions when you are deciding whether a question belongs in teacher docs, billing docs, analytics docs, or the institution admin area.
