Take a look at the new Gradebook

Instructure is developing an improved gradebook. This grade book is still in beta-testing so there may be features of the current grade book that have not been implemented yet.

Some of these improvements include:

• Speed improvements for large classes.
• Re-order columns by dragging and dropping them into place.
• Sort descending or ascending by column.
• Additional visual queue for grades that have been dropped because of grading rules.

To get to the new grade book click the Grades tool in the left-hand navigation.

In the address bar add the number two at the end of gradebook and hit Enter.

The new gradebook will appear.

Creating grading rules for assignment groups

If you would like to drop the lowest scores of a certain assignment group grading rules will automatically do that for you. To create a grading rule click the Assignments tool in the left-hand navigation.

Click the Pencil icon next to the group you want to create a grading rule for.

Underneath the title of the group click the add grading rule link.

A new grading rule will appear where you can select several options from the drop-down menu. The options are Drop the Lowest, Drop the Highest, and Never Drop. You can specify the amount of assignments to drop by entering a number in the textbox. When you select the Never Drop option you can choose the assignment you do not want dropped. When you are finished click the Update button.
