Gradebook App Overview

The Gradebook app on CodeHS is where you can track student grades for different sections. In the Gradebook app, you can adjust the view of your Gradebook, view grades by student, grade by individual Assignments, and configure your grading settings.

You can find the Gradebook app under the Grading category in the left-hand navigation menu:

Using the Gradebook App Tabs

The Gradebook app features four tools, which can be accessed by the tabs at the top of the page: Overview, By Student, By Assignment, and Settings:

The gradebook tools (overview, by student, by assignment, settings)

Overview

In the Overview tool, you'll find student grades displayed by student and activity type:

Student grades for a course are shown in many formats. To the right of each student's name is their overall course grade by: letter grade, percent, total earned, total graded, and total possible. Under each assignment name, you can find the number of points a student earned for that assignment out of how many points the assignment is worth.

The Grading Key

The grading key is a simple way to gauge your students' submissions and grading status for assignments. Assignments can have the following statuses/colors on the Gradebook:

  • Include in Gradebook: This setting 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 computational grade.

  • Display Settings: This setting controls which exercises are displayed in the Gradebook. This does not remove them from the Gradebook, the assignment is hidden yet still included in the computational grade. You can also check/uncheck the option to Show a flag on Late Assignments, or to Display a letter grade:

  • Student Permissions: This setting controls whether or not students can view their grade report for a section.

  • Late Assignments: This setting controls whether all assignments automatically receive a zero after the due date. An assignment can still be submitted after the due date. Checking this box will also retroactively give all late unopened or not-submitted assignments a zero. Click here for more information on Late Assignments settings.

  • Gradebook Calculations: This setting controls how the final percentage grade is calculated. Click here for more information on configuring Gradebook Calculations.

Click the checkboxes in each setting section to customize the Gradebook settings to your preferences. Click here for more information on customizing Gradebook settings.
