Gradebook Screen

Gradebook Basics

The Gradebook shows you all currently-entered grades for all assignments in your course, together with the final grade (whether in-progress or finalized).

  • The leftmost column lists your active enrolled students. This does not show auditors, withdrawn students, etc. The next column shows the in-progress/final grade. SHSST students do not see the final grade until the course is finalized at the end of the semester. (NB: the default grade is F until you begin to enter grades for assignments.)
  • Individual assignments display in due-date order going left to right. Beneath the assignment name are the points and then the student's score in points and as a percentage. Scroll left/right through the assignments using the scroll arrows.

Entering Grades

Start by clicking Edit Grades. All of the grading fields will open up for editing.

  1. Enter the letter grade a student received for the assignment.  Sacred Heart only uses the final letter grade for transcripts.
  2. You can excuse a student from an assignment by typing "E" in the grade field.
  3. When you're finished, click Save grades.

You can navigate around the grading fields using your mouse or the arrow keys on your keyboard.

Populi automatically saves your grades every five minutes and warns you if you attempt to leave the page without saving your work.
