Viewing course grades

(To view this document with screen shots, click here.)

In Gradebook, both students and instructors can view current scores.

Students

When you enter Gradebook, depending on what information your instructor has made available, you will see one or both of the following:

• Course Grade: The course grade is a cumulative grade based on items you have completed. Any items you have not completed are not included in the course grade calculation unless your instructor has explicitly assigned zeroes to those items. A grade percentage appears in parentheses and shows the actual percentage derived from completed items.
  
  
• Gradebook Items: The list of Gradebook items shows each item name, its due date (if applicable), your grade, and any comments associated with the grade.

Instructors

Setting score display options

Instructors can choose to make available individual Gradebook items, as well as cumulative course grades. For instructions, see Making grades available to students.

Viewing grades

When you enter Gradebook, you will see an Average Course Grade for the class and a list of individual Gradebook items. You can view cumulative scores using one of the following options:

• Within the Grade Items page, click the check box next to Gradebook. For each student, the points earned, the letter grade, and a percentage is displayed. The letter grade and percentage are based on the items that have been completed.
• Click the View drop-down menu, click Statistics to see grade frequency results on a grade distribution graph.
• To search for individual students, use the text box with the text Student Name within it.
