Using the gradebook>>Creating and managing items
You can modify any gradebook item—items that you create as well as CourseCompass items (TestGen tests and deployed assessments).
To modify a gradebook item:
Click the course name on the My CourseCompass page.
Click Control Panel.
Click Gradebook under Assessment.
Click Manage Items at the top of the page, then click Modify next to the item you want to change.
Note: You can also modify an item by clicking it on the Gradebook View Spreadsheet page, then clicking Item Information.
Under Item Information, enter or select information as follows:
Item Name – Edit the name for the item.
Category – Select a different gradebook category from the list.
Description – Enter or change the optional item description. The description appears in the student gradebook view, unless you change the item visibility (in step 6).
Date – Modify the date. The date appears in various gradebook views; for example, it appears when you view the gradebook by item.
Points Possible – Enter or change the total number of points students can possibly earn for this item. If you leave this field blank, any points you award a student for this item will be applied like extra credit; in other words, they will augment the student's total points earned without augmenting the total points possible.
Display As – Select a different grade display option from the Display As drop-down list.
Note: For more information about the choices in the Display As drop-down list, see Grade display options.
Under Options, set these options:
Make item visible to users – Modify the visibility of the item in the student view of the gradebook. Select No if you want to hide the item in the student view of the gradebook, in which case an asterisk (*) appears next to it in the instructor gradebook.
Include item in Gradebook score calculations – Modify this option to either include or exclude results for work associated with this item in gradebook calculations.
Click Submit, then click OK.
Note: You can modify the Display As and Make item visible to students options for the Total and Weighted Total columns in the gradebook in the spreadsheet view. To do so, click the column name in the spreadsheet, then click Item Information.
