thank you with the the grade book you have the standard View so the standard view this is by default what it looks like you have a long list of students and you have each of your assignments in your course so what you have here is that you have um I have an assignment and it has a line here so there isn’t a point there isn’t a submission um but I can add points here so it’s a out of five I can give that person a four and put and that’s how you would put in a manual grade you just click on the line you put it in the text box you’re able to access speedgraders from this button on the right hand side it kind of looks like a door with an arrow in it um and then you can scroll along the assignments to see other ones but also what you can do from the Gradebook you can’t do much here but you could also move your assignments so that way you see them differently so let’s say that you have a TA in your course and your ta grades all of the weekly quizzes your ta could go in and move this gradebook so that way all of the weekly quizzes come up first for that for them so they would have all of the weekly quizzes here and they could just scroll through each week and grade those assignments um if you are in here and you want to view your assignments in a specific order you can view them in a specific order um you’re going to have them kind of grouped together as far as groups um or you’re going to see them the same way that they’ve been added in the course so things that were created first will show up here and then it’ll go through in that sequence of when they were created but it depends on what you’re doing in your assignments area so you’re able to scroll to to move things up or down so if you wanted to if you have weighted grades you would have weighted grade columns you can move all of your weighted grade columns towards the end here wherever the end is for this um but you have participation which is five percent of the grade you can move all of your weighted columns down to the end so that way you don’t have to view them you’re also able to import from a an Excel sheet if you have it um you can export it to an Excel you can export the entire Gradebook you can view it differently if you wanted to so you can arrange it by different ways assignment types you can do it by points you could do it by modules you can filter assignment by assignment groups you can filter by modules you could filter it by statuses whether it’s incomplete or complete you could take a look at that you can view options for uh you can view all of the ungraded assignments to make sure that you’ve graded everything every grade is in there before you submit it to the official I’m drawing a blank the official Ohio State grading thing why am I I’ve lost the word the word is not there anymore it was there and then it’s no longer there I was getting ready to say it but it’s not there anymore um but one when you’re getting ready to submit your grades for student for like student transcripts and everything that thing that thing that I cannot remember and I it’s hard if I can’t remember it um but before you submit there you need to make sure that you do not have any dashes you do you have to have some form of grade in this common grade book before you submit it over to the official thing because you could mess things up um you could view your your notes and unpublished assignments and then for your settings in your grade book all over on the right hand side there’s a gear icon for your Gradebook settings and with Gradebook settings you have your late policies so this is good to set up so you can have automatically apply a grade for missing submissions so for missing submissions you could say it’s zero percent that’s automatically the grade that is going to be given if they missed the deadline in it just never shows up um automatically reply apply a deduction to late submissions so for every day that this assignment is late you have minus five percent but you can also do this by hour if you wanted by hour you lose one percentage point every hour that you are late it doesn’t matter but also it doesn’t matter if you got 100 on the quiz if you are a full 24 hours late you are you Miss 24 of your grade that is that is harsh in my opinion but that is up to you if you wanted to do I’m going to stick with five percent per day um and then the lowest grade possible that it will stop at it will not subtract anymore is 60 if you’ve submitted it you deserve some form of passing grade not a failing grade um but you can you can set it up however you want to um I am just a softy I think um so we have the grade posting policy which is up at the top so for grade posting policy you can do automatically post grades but I would move with caution on this one because if you select automatically post grades that means that as you are grading students are getting their grades they’re getting a notification from Carmen saying hey your assignment has been graded and some of these kids the the some of the students if they are waiting for their final exam grade to come up and you are you just finished grading the first essay they are going to get their grade they are going to get it they’re going to see it they’re going to see the answers they’re going to see your feedback and then if they’re sitting right next to one of their their friends who are also in the class and they’re like I got my grade back and then they look at their friend and their friend hasn’t gotten their grade back and it takes you maybe two or three days to get through all of those essays that student is going to be sitting in a stew of anxiety until you get to their name um so I do not recommend automatically posting grades I don’t recommend it what I do recommend is manually post grades that means that you can take two or three days to do to grade through all of the essays and then when everything is graded you can go to your column and you can say post the grades and then everybody gets that notification that the grades are out at the same time it’s kind of like back in the day when you were able to print out all the grades on a piece of paper and post it to a bulletin board and all of the students could see their grade at the same time um it’s kind of like that but it’s easier because you don’t have crowds um so you can do it that way that’s the one that I recommend um but it’s entirely up to you if you are the type of person who would forget to post the grades then automatically post the grades um and then you have advanced so you can allow final grade override um this is kind of good if you wanted to add extra credit to your course or if you if you wanted to bump up their grade by a few points in the end you could do that and then you can apply the settings and there you have your grade book
