View my grades as a Grade Report

Your instructor can create Grade Reports for you to view that consist of the grades from multiple class activities.

Grade Report — A compilation of grades from a pre-defined group of activities that are used to calculate an overall grade.

Grade Reports consist of Report Groups.

Report Group — A subset of activities of a Grade Report with defined parameters that determine how the overall grade of the Grade Report is calculated.

NOTE: A Grade Report can contain several Report Groups.

Grade Reports can be used to display:

  • Your performance on a specific subset of activities.
  • How your final grade for your class is calculated.
