How Settings Affect Grading
| Setting | Impact on AI Grading |
|---|---|
| Allow Late Submissions | Late submissions are graded normally; AI doesn’t penalize for lateness |
| Hide Points | Points are still calculated; just hidden from students |
| Max Attempts | Each submission is graded independently |
GradingPal does not automatically deduct points for late submissions. If you want to apply late penalties, you would adjust the grade manually after reviewing.
