Real time, ongoing grade earned (for student view)
I believe in providing my students with visibility into their grades throughout the semester, so they always know where they stand rather than waiting until the end of the term.

In weeks 1 and 2 of my online course I allow students to submit an email to me that shows they went through the Syllabus (I have a hidden gem in it which asks them to email me 3 things they learned, any outstanding questions they have, etc). I am unsure how to set…

Settings for rubric when grading within gradebook

Bulk Add Copied Assignments to Gradebook?
I've copied a course over from a previous semester's version. The date shift feature was a huge help. Now, though, it seems that I have to manually, one-by-one, click to edit each individual assignment, and click to add it to the gradebook. There should be a bulk edit option to add all to gradebook at once. Otherwise, this…

How do I include a category into the final grade calculation?
At present, the final grade in my course is not including the homework. I am trying to adjust the final grade calculation so that the homework category is included, but I do not see where or how to do that.

How can I use calculated grades in other calculated grades? The new calculated grades I created do not appear as an option to include in other calculated grades.

For just one student in my class, the "drop lowest grade" option is not dropping the lowest grade (it is dropping a 75 when there is also a 0), I have many students where it is working fine, so I'm not seeing where it is my error. I have another student whose grades are very similar (2nd lowest grade is on same assignment…
