The default view.

Specific categories

Displays graded materials within a specific category and the student’s grade for that category.

The Categories in this list are configured on the Grade Setup page. If a material does not have a grading Category, it will be displayed in the ungraded section. You cannot enter grades, comments, or exceptions into the Gradebook for an item designated as ungraded.

All category summaries

Displays the overall and grading period columns if the course is configured to display those columns. Materials are not listed.

  • Only available when you have selected the lowest level of the grading period since course materials can only be aligned with the lowest level of the grading period in your course.

  • A grading category score is not calculated for grading periods that have sub-periods.

If you select a parent grading period and the All Category Summaries, the display changes to the selected parent period with All Materials automatically selected in the category drop-down.

If you select a specific grading period and the All Category Summaries option, the gradebook displays one column per grading category that exists in the course. If no items have been graded for a student within a certain category, that category’s column displays N/A.

Grading category score columns

Displays column headers are the category title and the calculated category score for the selected grading period.

Course Admins can hide the category score columns from their gradebook page using the option in the Grade Setup flag, Hide Grading Category score columns.
