Gradebook: Settings

The Course Grade Settings Tab

The Course Grade Settings tab is a section of the gradebook Setup. It is used to determine how grades appear for all participants in this specific course (students and instructors).

The Course Grade Settings tab provides settings that determine how the Grader report, Overview report and User report will appear. An instructor can decide how grades are displayed for both themselves and for students.

The Overview report (shows total grades in all of an individual’s courses).

User report are how students will see their grades displayed.

Only an instructor will see the Grader report and it may display grade items that students CANNOT see.

How to Find it

Scroll to the top of the main page of your course (if you aren’t there already).

Select the Grades option from the Secondary Navigation. 

Select the option you would like from the Tertiary Navigation. 

General Settings Tab

The General settings section determines whether the category and course total columns are displayed first or last in the User report.

The User report section determines display details for student grades in the User report. An instructor can decide whether to Hide or Show details such as class rank, item percentages and item feedback, or whether to show grades at all.

A student will only see their own User report.
