| Here are 4 quick tips for making the Canvas Gradebook more convenient and easier to use: | |
| 1. Mute Assignment:
Muting an assignment allows you to work on grade entry without the students being able to see the grades. Un-mute the assignment when you have finished grading so that students can view their grades and feedback. |
|
| 2. Grade Totals next to Student Names:
When there are multiple grade book columns, it might be preferable to have the total column on the left side next to the student names. This makes it much easier to see the student’s grades. |
|
| 3. Organizing Columns and Rows:
Arranging Columns by due date allows you to sequence the columns in chronological order. You can click the column heading to sort the rows. For example, clicking the total column header will sort the students by total grade. |
|
| 4. Dash vs. Zero
Don’t forget that the dash indicates no submission, while the zero indicates that you’ve given the student a zero. The dash won’t count toward their grade, the zero does. Some instructors are unaware that dashes don’t count against students. |
