View student grades in Class Progress

Students mainly go to the Class Progress tab to view their grades in a course. Instructors can also go to the Class Progress tab, select a student, and see their grade view. Example below.

Note: If you remove Class Progress from your navigation bar, students will not be able to see their grades. It is recommended that you do not remove this tab.

 

Add the Grades tool to the navigation bar

If you add the Grades too to your navbar, students will be able to view the entire gradebook. This allows them to see everything within the course that you anticipate affecting their final grade. Below is an example of a student’s view under the Grades tab.

View an assignment graded with TurnitIn

When assignments are graded with TurnitIn, the student will need to access TurnitIn to see their Similarity Report and any Markups you made in the TurnitIn Feedback Studio. They would access this in the same place they did in the previous step: Viewing an Assignment Grade in the Assignment Tool. However, in this case they will see a Similarity Report percentage given. To get more details, they should click directly on that icon to open TurnitIn. This will open a new page with the TurnitIn interface.
