  2. Why use eCourseware for grades? • eCourseware allows for complete confidentiality on a consistent platform for students. Information is kept without worry of misplacement and always there for future reference. • Use the Grades tool to set up a grade book for evaluating users’ performance. You can set up grade items for any number of projects, assignments and tests, and evaluate users in many different ways. You can also associate grades with items in the Dropbox, Quizzes, Discussions, and Competencies tools. • You control the grading formula used to calculate grades, and what grades and statistics are released to your users.

  3. Accessing the Grades tool • Access the Grades tool by clicking the Grades link on your course navigation bar. • Setting up and managing your grade book • Weighted system • Use to calculate grade items as a percentage of a final grade worth 100% • Points system • Use when you want the maximum points assigned to a grade item to be equal to its contribution to the final grade

  4. Final Grade Choices • Calculated Final Grade • Calculated final grade is based on the grading formula set up in the grade book. It cannot be adjusted to accommodate special circumstances without editing individual grade items or categories and recalculating the total. • Adjusted Final Grade • Adjusted final grade lets you modify or adjust a users’ grade before releasing it. You can use the calculated grade for final grades that don’t need adjustment.

  5. Grades Setup Wizard • The Grades Setup Wizard takes you through a list of setup options that you should set before you create grade items and categories. • Step 1: Choose Grading System • Step 2: Final Grade Released • Step 3: Grade Calculations • Step 4: Choose Default Grade Scheme • Step 5: User Leading a Course View Display Options • Step 6: User View Display Options • Step 7: Grade Setup Summary

  6. Optimal settings for large courses • Set the number of users to display per page to a low value. • Sort the User List by user instead of grades. • View the User List by group or section if possible. • Do not show decimal places in the grade book. • Do not select the Automatically keep final grade updated option. • Only display one user detail in the grade book.
