>> Welcome to Cengage Learning CengageNow Managing
Grades video.
This is an installment
of the digital course support self-training video series
for instructors.
Our agenda for this video is to show you how
to manage your students' grades for a specific course.
The edit grade details page lets you view
and edit individual student scores, delete selected takes,
edit the time spent on a take, and make editing notes
in a comment field for later viewing.
The lower half of the page contains a preview area
where you can see question details
and your student responses for each take of the assignment.
You can get to the edit grade details page
from the gradebook page
by clicking the score you wish to view or edit.
You can also edit assignments marked not taken.
Please note, assignments created with personalized study tools
or media quiz content will not have the option
to edit the scores of individual questions.
You can, however, see question details
and your students' responses.
To edit grade details for a different assignment
for the currently student, select the assignment
from the drop down menu under view a different assignment,
and the page will automatically refresh.
To edit the score for another student,
select the student's name in the drop down menu
under view the grades for a different student.
The middle section of the edit grade details page allows you
to edit aspects of the overall assignment score.
To access these fields, select the grade
by assignment score option.
On the edit grade details page you can also edit
problem scores.
To do so click on an item name in the items list.
The screen on the lower right refreshes displaying the item
name and the content of the question.
Below that is the correct answer if different
from the student's answer.
Enter a new score in the score input box.
To save all your changes, click save and return
or save changes and continue editing.
In addition to editing assignment scores one at a time
from the edit grade details page,
you can edit student 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 also view incomplete assignments,
offline assignments, and assignment scores
that have already been modified by late or custom penalties.
To adjust multiple scores, select the appropriate course
from the course or section drop down menu.
Select adjust multiple scores link from the perform student
and assignment actions drop down menu,
and the adjust multiple scores page will open.
Select the scores you want to modify.
Under choose an adjustment option, select an option
for adjusting the selected scores.
Enter the value of the score adjustment in the adjacent box.
For example, to adjust the value by 15% or 15 points, enter 15.
Select percent or points as appropriate
for the adjustment value.
Under settings, you can choose to allow negative scores
or extra credit for adjusted scores
or enable the automatic preview section.
Click save changes and return to gradebook
to accept your grade adjustments and return
to the gradebook overview page.
You can also click save changes and continue editing
to keep working on this page or click return without saving
to discard your modifications and return
to the gradebook overview page.
