The

Gradebook

provides

online

management

of

grades

for

assignments

and

exams.

Stellar

can

perform

weighted

calculations

for

these

grades,

display

cumulative

scores,

and

create

a

private

Grade

Report

for

each

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

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.
