OTHER Setup Tasks

Grade Scale: Complete this if you are using letter grades in your course.

Grade Labels: This can be used for pass/fail type grading. Example, in order to pass your class, students

must receive at least an 86%. You can set it up so the students know exactly how they are doing without

you having to go in and calculate it.

Grade Reports: This area gives you a means of filtering out only specific data you want from the

gradebook, like all students who performed below expectations on an exam, or havent turned in a

homework assignment. It lets you save the report so you can run it at will.

Gradebook Preferences

This hasnt changed as much; however, it is more user-friendly now.

The LWTC eLearning Team recommends that if you will need to edit the weights of your Categories, you

leave the settings as percentages rather than points as this option is not available with Gradebook Mode
