Hints

  • It is recommended that users create their gradebooks before the start of the semester to avoid complications when students begin submitting assignments.

  • If you want to change your migrated Gradebook to Points or Weighted, navigate to the Setup Wizard, scroll down the page and press START. Step 1 of the Setup Wizard allows the user to choose Weighted or Points. Make your selection, scroll down and press Continue. Continue through Step 7 of the Setup Wizard and press Finish to save your changes.

  • If you are a weighted grader, after you have set up your Gradebook, pay attention to the Note field at the top of the screen which may display warnings asking you to verify that the total weight of the categories totals 100%. Pay close attention particularly if you are working in a Gradebook that has been migrated from Moodle.

    The Note field alerts users to verify the the total weight of the categories equals 100 percent

  • For points graders who wish to create categories to organize grade items, after completing the Setup Wizard, navigate to the Manage Grades tab. Press the drop down arrow on the blue New button in the upper left corner. Select Category to begin creating your categories. 

    On the Manage Grades tab users can add a manual grade item or create categories
