Grades 5 - Adding Categories and Managing Grades

There are several help sheets in this series. Start with Grades 1 - Introduction & Overview

To add a new category to the Gradebook

If you have several columns in the grades tool it can be helpful to organise them, so for example you could organise into autumn and spring semesters in a year long module, or formative and summative if you have used both assessment types.

  1. In your module click the 'Cogwheel' and click on 'Gradebook setup'
