Gradebook Help

Here are some common problems associated with the gradebook:

  • Student does not have a valid gradebook ID - If you have not received a gradebook ID, or have lost yours, you need to contact me via WebCT email or in person during my office hours to receive your code. 
  • Missing grades - If you find that an assignment is missing from your listing, contact me so we can determine why that assignment is not listed and make corrections, if necessary.  You should check the gradebook frequently to make sure the list of assignments corresponds with your personal list. 
  • Recent assignments aren't showing up on the gradebook - Assignment grades are posted to the gradebook as soon as grading for the assignment has been completed.  The gradebook includes a date that indicates the last time it was updated from the master database, maintained at my office.  The gradebook always includes all assignments that were graded as of the posting date, but will not include assignments that had been turned in, but for which grading was not complete as of the posting date.
  • A corrected grade is not showing up as corrected - Gradebook corrections are made directly in the database.  The gradebook is usually updated when an assignment has been graded.  It is possible that your correction was made, but no assignments have been graded since that time and, hence, the online gradebook has not been uploaded to reflect the change made to your grade.  If the posting date of the gradebook (shown on the main page) is after the correction was made to your grade, please contact me to make sure that the correction was entered.  If the posting date is prior to the correction being made, it is generally the case that the correction has been made to the master database, but that the gradebook has not been uploaded since then to reflect the change.
