The CodeHS Gradebook allows you to customize what activities appear, view student programs, configure point settings, view supplemental material, remove assignments, view grades, and export your gradebook. Click here to learn more about what the colors mean in the Gradebook. 

Customizing Point Values

Teachers can customize their Gradebook by clicking on the blue Edit button in the upper left corner. This allows teachers to edit maximum point values for each assignment and remove individual assignments from showing up in your Gradebook.

Configuring your Gradebook Settings

Click the Settings tab in the top navigation to open this tool. Here, you can select what types of assignments you want to include in the Gradebook, set up weighted grading, and more. 

scrolling down the settings tool

This controls what type of assignments are in the Gradebook. This will remove all unchecked assignment types from the Gradebook and the assignments will not be included in the student's calculated grade.

Display Settings

These settings control whether quizzes and exercises are displayed in the Gradebook. This does not remove them from the grade calculation. The assignments are hidden, but still included in the computational grade. You can also toggle the option to show/remove the flag on Late Assignments.


Student Permissions

This controls whether or not students can view their grade report.

This setting controls whether all assignments automatically receive a zero after the due date. Checking this box will retroactively give all late unopened or not submitted assignments a zero. Teachers can choose the point penalty for assignments once they are submitted and teachers can choose whether the assignments are manually or automatically graded.

This setting controls how the final percentage grade is calculated either from the total possible points (including unopened assignments), or only the total graded points.


Viewing Student Programs & Adjusting Grades

Click on any score value in the Gradebook to open up that individual student's assignment. Here, you can run their code and change the given grade under the Grade tab in the code editor. Any grade changed in the code editor will be updated in your Gradebook.

You can also give partial credit or extra credit for an assignment.
