h6. What's New
*Spring 2010 Updates:*
* Students can now see make-up grades.
* Actual and original/make-up grades will automatically display to students (settings are configurable).
* Make-up grades can now be exported via spreadsheet.
* When assigning make-up grades, the make-up grade field now auto-populates the "actual" grade field.
* (!) *Actual and make-up grades are not averaged.*
* Instructional text boxes have been made more visible student. In addition to creating assignments in the gradebook, you can also import assignments from Homework into the Gradebook. This means you can enter all grades for online and offline submissions in one location, and Stellar can perform grade calculations for all class submissions and exams.

* When a student selects the Gradebook navigation link, they will only see their own Grade Report.
* A student cannot view another student's grades.
* Students see only the grades that have been approved by Instructors/TAs.
* (!) *The Gradebook must be configured to hide grades. By default, grades are displayed.*

* Graders can not configure the gradebook, approve grades or see assignments that have not been explicitly made available to them.
