Approving Grades

Students will not see their grades if they have not been approved. Like entering a grade, approving a grade can be done by student or assignment (see above for more details). To Approve a grade click the APPROVE button (PIC) next to the grade. You can also approve more than one grade by clicking on the "APPROVE ALL" button (PIC). Once a grade is approved, it appears in the student's Grade Report.

Viewing Grade History

The History pop-up tells you: the grade given, the Date and Time it was entered, the Action done to the homework: Create (new but not approved), Change (modified but not approved), Makeup (entered or updated a makeup grade), or Approve (final and approved), the Grader's email, and the role of the Grader. The Grade History link will not appear till at least one grade has been updated to the appropriate field.

Changing Grades

Changing a grade in the Gradebook is the same procedure as entering a grade. If the grade was already approved, its approval status is removed and the grade must be approved again in order for it to be posted in the student's Grade Report. Stellar records any changes to a grade or makeup grade in its history. Changes made in the makeup grade field will be recorded in the history as "Makeup" not "Change"

Note: When an approved grade is changed, it is up to the instructor/TA to notify the student of the change.
