Adjusting Multiple Scores
In addition to editing assignment scores one at a time from the Edit Grade Details page, you can adjust students' scores for multiple assignments in a course. This powerful feature lets you adjust scores up or down by a designated amount (percentage or points) or reset scores to a specific value.
You can access the Adjust Multiple Scores link from the Student menu (mortarboard icon) on the Gradebook overview page. In addition to allowing you to modify assignment scores, this page can indicate incomplete assignments, unassigned assignments, and assignment scores that have already been modified by late or custom penalties.
To adjust all scores
- 1. Go to the Gradebook page and select the appropriate course from the Select a Course or Section dropdown menu, if necessary.
- 2. Select Adjust Multiple Scores link from the Student menu (mortarboard icon).
