Grades Page Symbols

• Viewing grades is easiest when they are displayed by “Grading Categories” and not “Syllabus Order.” You can make sure they are displayed correctly by selecting the “Grading Categories” button in the top right of the grades page
• When checking on a student’s grades, you will notice several kinds of symbols appear.
• Status Symbols:
  • These will appear to the right of the assignment’s score:

	A grade in the red means that the assignment is below passing and will need to be redone in order to test (All assignments must be at least a 70% to test)
	A grade in green means that the assignment is passing.
	The assignment is excused and the student does not need to complete it
	The assignment has been opened (it is not complete until it has a passing grade)
	A retry has been allowed for the assignment/test
	The teacher has left feedback for the student that they can view by accessing their grades page which can give advice on what needs to be fixed in order to pass the assignment
	The assignment is waiting to be graded by the teacher. OR, this symbol can also mean that the student has questions left unanswered in the assignment.

• Activity Symbols
  • These will appear to the left of the assignment name:

	The assignment is not included in the final grade but it does still need to be completed before they can test
	Assignment is extra credit and does not need to be completed.
	Assignment requires a passing score for course credit. (You won’t need to worry about this too much as we require all assignments to have a passing score anyway.)
