Viewing gradebook information by item

You can view each student's grade, statistics on class performance, and statistics on class responses to questions for a single gradebook item—such as a test or assignment—or for all gradebook items.

Note: In addition to viewing information about gradebook items, you can view similar information about the Total and Weighted Total columns. The Total column shows the percentage of total points each student earned. For example, if the sum total of points possible for all gradebook items is 500, and a student earns 430 points, his or her percentage of total points is 86. The Weighted Total column shows the sum of all the student's weighted averages for items in the gradebook. If you do not weight grades, then this column is blank.

To view gradebook information by item:

  1. Click the course name on the My CourseCompass page.

  2. Click the Control Panel button.

  3. Click Gradebook Views under Assessment.

  4. Click View Grades by Item to see all the gradebook items, their assigned categories, the number of points students can possibly earn for each item, the item weights, and the date the items were added to the gradebook (or the date you set when you added or modified an item).

  5. (Optional) To sort the items by name, category, point value, weight, or date, click the down arrow in the appropriate column heading. The items are sorted in ascending order (for example, A to Z).

  6. (Optional) To view items from a single category only, select a category in the Filter Items by Category drop-down list, then click GO.

  7. To view details for a specific item, click the item name. The Item Options page appears.

Note: You can also view gradebook information for a single item by clicking an item name in the spreadsheet view of the gradebook.
