Student Gradebook

Within their gradebook, faculty can access an individual student gradebook by selecting the student's name then See student's gradebook. The student gradebook displays the student's assignment grade averages for the class broken down by Assignment type, the student's marking period grade, and Cumulative year grade (if the gradebook is set up by year).

Under Status count, you'll find a count of the student's Exempt, Late, Incomplete, and Missing assignments. Select the Missing or Incomplete number to see more information on assignments with those indicators.

Note: Students with access can also view the student gradebook from their Progress tab by selecting See grade details for a class or group. However, grade calculations are only visible to students if Show gradebook calculation is enabled in the gradebook calculation settings for the class. For Competency based gradebooks, the mastery computation method is only visible to students if Display calculation is enabled in the Mastery calculation settings in the gradebook.

Assignment type breakdown

Under Assignment type breakdown, the student's average for each assignment type is displayed along with the Points earned, Points possible, and Weight if applicable. Use Previous and Next to navigate between students.

Select an Assignment type for a more detailed view that includes individual assignment grades, comments, and status indicators.

After selecting an Assignment type

  • Enable Show class average to easily see how a student's grade compares to the rest of the class.

  • Use the up and down arrows at the top of the page to move between Assignment types.

  • Excluded from cumulative grade indicates that Add to cumulative grade is not enabled in the settings for the assignment.

  • Dropped indicates the assignment grade is dropped from the cumulative calculation based on your settings for the Assignment type.

  • Extra credit indicates that Mark as extra credit is enabled in the assignment settings.

Tip: For information on the icons displayed in the Status column, see Working with Gradebook.

Competency based student gradebook

If your school utilizes Competency Based Education (CBE), you can switch between displaying Total score and Skills using the Display dropdown at the top of the student gradebook. With Skills selected, the number of evaluated and mastered skills display above the Content-area skills and/or Transferable skills along with the Computation method. For more information on CBE, see Faculty Guide to Competency Based Education and Competency Based Education.

Whereas Content-area skills are specific to a course or subject area, Transferable skills can span a student's academic performance at the school. When Transferable skills are selected in the student gradebook, the skill details displayed are for the current class only.

For each skill, the following details display: 

  • The student's average skill score for the selected marking period. Only summative graded assignments (assignments not marked Formative) are included in the average.

  • Cumulative average: (Content-area skills only) The student's average skill score for the class duration across marking periods.

  • Class average: (Content-area skills only) The average of summative graded assignments (assignments not marked Formative) for all students in the class.

  • Evaluations: Displays the number of summative evaluations, followed by the number of formative evaluations.

  • Parent skill: If the skill is a sub-skill of a parent skill, the parent skill displays here.

  • Trend: Indicates if the student's evaluation scores are improving, staying the same, or decreasing.

Skill details by Assignment

When viewing Content-area or Transferable skills in the Student gradebook, faculty can select a skill to view the assignments associated with that skill, including the student's Rating and Comments. Assignments are split into two sections:

  • Evaluations: Summative assignments that are included in calculations.

  • Formative: Assignments marked Formative and excluded from calculations.

For each assignment, the following information displays:

  • Assignment name

  • Rating: The student's skill rating for the assignment.

  • Due date

  • Status: Displays status icons applied to the assignment.

  • Skill Comment: Displays the comment entered for the skill, not the overall Assignment comment.

  • Comment: The overall Assignment comment.
