How do I use the Gradebook?

The Gradebook helps instructors easily input and distribute grades for students. Grades for each assignment can be calculated as points, percentages, complete or incomplete, pass or fail, GPA scale, and letter grades, and assignments can be organized into groups for weighting as well.
The default view in the Gradebook is to view all students at a time

In Course Navigation, click the Grades link.

In the Gradebook, you can sort your Gradebook by all students or by section [1], which will populate the select student data [2] and assignment data [3]. You can also use the Settings drop-down menu to specify settings for the entire Gradebook [4].
