Assessment Projects: Ability to set up assessment rounds with different artifact sampling percentages

Additional Information of Note:

  • The percentage for each subsequent sampling round can be equal to or less than the percentage for the previous sampling round, for example, if the percentage defined for Sampling Round #1 is 80%, the percentage for Sampling Round #2 can be either 80% or less than 80%.
  • The ability to enable the score discrepancy check for an assessment project activity will be available if the activity has 2 or more than 2 sampling rounds.
    • An artifact submission will be eligible for a discrepancy evaluation only if meets all of the following conditions:
      • The artifact is required to be evaluated in only in two sampling rounds.
      • The artifact has been evaluated in both the required sampling rounds.
      • The score difference between the evaluations from the two rounds is equal to or greater than the defined point variance (please refer to the screen-shot).
