Does anyone know if the question stem can be added to the frontend-app-ora-grading interface? When the instructor clicks to grade the open response question from the **Instructor \> Open Response** page, the new ora grading interface does not display the question stem. It is not very clear to the grader what they’re scoring the criterion on.

@Zachary_Trabookis apologies, I am unfamiliar with ORA and what a “question stem” is. Providing screenshots may help explain better.

@sarina  
The question stem is the actual question that is asked to the learner for the open response.

In the example below it’s `In your own words, explain how human factors can affect safety practices.`

When the instructor goes to grade the responses it doesn’t show the question stem on the `ora-grading` page.

Nor does it show when grading an individual student’s response. It’s actually harder to grade the response here because you cannot see the actual question asked.

That makes sense, so by “question stem” you mean “prompt”.

I am not entirely sure why you tagged me, I’m not an ORA dev. I would recommend making an issue on the repo.
