Gradebook: Overview

The Gradebook is a tool for instructors to calculate and store grade information and distribute it to students online.

Features: Using the Gradebook, instructors can:

Autocalculate course grades, with the ability to override any course grade
Define course letter grades based on a 100% scale
Choose between point- or percentage-based grading
Create categories to organize items and allow for weighting of grades
Enter, view, edit, and release to students scores, grades, and comments
Transmit scores to the Gradebook from tools such as Tests & Quizzes, Assignments, and Forums
Export scores and grades to Microsoft Excel (in .csv format)
Import item scores from spreadsheet (.csv) files.

Viewing scores: The Gradebook lets students view their own scores and grades once instructors have released them.

Instructors can view information in the Gradebook in different ways, including an item summary for each course, item detail, all grade listing, course grade listing, gradebook setup, and course grade options.
Students can view their scores for all items; view their course grades, once an instructor releases them; and sort their items by title, due date, grade, and weight, where applicable.
The Gradebook is section aware, so assistants can see grades only for students in their particular sections.
Currently, the Gradebook does not allow you to assign extra credit or drop the lowest score.
Instructors can import grades. For instructions, see Importing grades from a spreadsheet.
