The Section Gradebook

• The section Gradebook is accessed through the section subsite(s).
• It displays only the participants in a particular section.
• This does not prevent Graders or TAs from viewing the whole class gradebook or sections other than their own, it will merely allow them to focus in on the section to which they've been assigned.
• Assignments are global - there are no section-specific assignments or exams.
• Calculations and histograms display section-based data in the section-filtered gradebook and site-wide data in the master site gradebook.

  Note

  • Permissions in sections depend on permissions for master gradebook, in order to see a section, TAs and Graders must have access to the master gradebook..

  A Gradebook must be added to the master site and sections must be created before adding the section Gradebook link to sections.
