Let’s talk about side A and side B of the grade book. Side A is Carmen’s Grades tool, this is the gradebook where you can input students’ grades and students will be able to access their grade information. Side B, is the Assignments page in Carmen. This is where you can setup your assignment groups and organize the gradebook. We will show you how to use both these tools to your advantage in this section.
