Reviewing Class Assignments (Students)

If an instructor sets up a class for Gradebook, students in the class can access information about the class and their progress-to-date through the student gradebook, which is available through the Student Center. Students can also access this information by clicking the View My Assignments link in the Enrollment menu.

This section lists prerequisites and discusses how students can:

Before a student can use the gradebook pages:

  • The student must be enrolled in a class that has gradebook data.

  • The instructor must have activated gradebook information for the class.

    The instructor does this by accessing and saving the Class Assignments component.
