Gradebook
You can determine how to set up your gradebook to best reflect your approach to evaluation. The gradebook provides you a way to record scores, evaluate students, and track student progress. You can evaluate specific tasks (such as projects, tests, and participation) and you can create grade items and associated them with course assessments, e.g. Assignments and Quizzes.
