Gradebook

I need a Final Calculated Grade formula of 70% that also requires each grade item to be over 70%?
Edit Categories
I have an existing category. By the end of the semester, I decided to remove each student's lowest grade. How can I do this? All posts show how to do this while creating a new category, not an existing one.
Setup Wizard
I have three classes set up in BS, ALL classes are set the same in Setup Wizard (grades). Two of my classes show the students their final grades at the top when they log into BS to see their grades, the third class doesn't show the grade. EVERYTHING is set the same and yes, Release Final Adjust Grade is checked. Any ideas…
How do I delete a grade from my grade book that is a duplicate?
I have a journal entry location in my grade book, however, it is a duplicate entry. How do I delete the assignment from the grade book.
Quiz Feedback on Individual Questions
An instructor for one of our Stats courses has several quizzes with the entire solution to the question entered in the Feedback area for each question in each quiz. Students are allowed two attempts, with the highest attempt counted. After the first and second attempts, she wants students to see the questions they got…
Median for aggregating grades
Is there any easy way to use the median rather than the mean/average as the aggregation for a group of grades? Median is not even one of the functions available if you add a formula item to the gradebook, so I cannot add a formula or calculated column to use. I just want to get to the point I can say here are X number of…
Why are my grades out of order?
When looking at grades, the columns for each weeks' assignments are out of order. Is there a way to rearrange, so I can see them chronologically? The data was imported from last year's course site, which I did not create, so I also don't know if this is by design or user error on the part of my predecessor.
Pagination/students per page in Gradebook
How can I change the number of students faculty can view per page in the gradebook? Right now the max they can see is 10 per page and we have set our pagination settings to 250, but it hasn't affected the gradebook. Any tips?
Help me change the number of users I can view in my gradebook!
I have watched the tutorials. I know where to go. I just can't change the number of users in my gradebook - why? How can I fix this? In most of my gradebooks, I can see all of my students without having to save the page and go to another page…but in two of my courses, it only shows me 10 students at a time. When I am in my…
Editing the title of an Assignment isn't reflected in Grade Book
In Classic Experience— I have some assignments that are already linked to the Grade Book. I've noticed that if I edit the title of the Assignment, the title isn't automatically updated in the Grade Book. I have to edit the title in the Grade Book as an additional step. Is this correct? To try to get around this I tried…
Opening file submissions
When grading assignments, is there a way to have the assignment submission automatically open when moving between student submissions vs. clicking the file to open each time. For this course in particular students have to submit in .pdf format, so when trying to grade submissions for numerous students at a time, I find you…
Overide a grade in BS
I have moved a learner from Moodle to a Brightspace course that is not identical. I want to omit assignments with similar outcomes and input an overridden overall grade. How can I do that? I can't seem to find anything in the documentation on how to override a grade.
Adding Outcomes to Grades Mastery view
Once you have your Outcomes imported into your Course and set your achievement levels, how do you select outcomes to evaluate within the Gradebook?
grade item exemption
I have instructor who has exempted a midterm grade item for a student. They want to know how to get brightspace to calculate the weight of that exempted midterm grade item onto another midterm grade item. Does the fact that the gradebook item exemption is already in place already take of this essentially? The instructor…
Is a late deduction option for quizzes or assignments being developed?
I am aware that late assignments completed after a due date but before an end date are flagged. However, will an automatic deduction function be developed in the future for late quizzes or assignments? Has this been considered? This function is available in Canvas and publisher products such as Pearson Mastering.
Changing value of question in a quiz after writing
I've done all the logical things to make this happen, and it seems like such a simple issue is unfixable at present. One of my quizzes has a question valued at 5 points but it should have been 30. It appears it's impossible to correct this for anyone who has written the quiz. It boggles my mind that something so simple is…
Student uploaded new paper and overwrote my comments and grades... can I get it back??
I just finished grading my student's paper and I had added annotated comments to the paper throughout. At some point today my student uploaded another copy of her paper and because I had the settings turned on to keep the latest submission only, the original paper with all my comments has disappeared. I had saved it as a…
Gradebook SIS Export - Reset?
We have been using the export grades to sis for quite some time without issues. However, in a fluke scheduling incident, we ran into a situation where we had to change/rebuild sections after that date. The older grades had stopped coming over from a prior date, so late-graded submissions are not making it over. Is there a…
How do you weight grades?
"Past due" and "New submission" errors that won't go away
All of my students submissions show as past due despite there being a due date and a grade entered. I have tried "mark all as complete" and it does nothing. Similarly I have a list of "new submissions" in my assignment list saying there are 57 new submissions (for an assignment due the second week of class in which all…
