Understanding Gradebook Views and Filters

Updated on

The default view of the Gradebook is a table comprised of rows containing your students' names, and columns representing your graded activities / categories. The Gradebook supports a wide variety of functions to view, arrange, filter, and sort your students and assignments.

Individual Gradebook

If you need to view a single student's Gradebook, you can switch your Gradebook to the "Individual Gradebook" that allows you to view and manipulate a single student. This is particularly useful if you need to discuss a student's overall grades and would like to have their grades available without displaying the entire Gradebook and other students' scores.
