View progress details for each course
To view detailed progress in a course, select the course from the Main Menu and click Grades. Here, you find:
- The Grades view displays detailed progress information. From this view, you can also print your grades.
- View the student Dashboard which includes:
- The For Me view, which displays any activities you’ve created or chosen for yourself as well as activities your teacher has created specifically for you.
- The What If view, which helps you calculate possible grade outcomes.
- The Activity view, which displays each activity you’ve worked in, when you started working on it, and how long you’ve spent in it.
- The Objective Mastery view, which displays each learning objective, each aligned activity, and how well you seem to be mastering those objectives.
- Note: This tab does not appear if the course author has not defined objectives for the course. Contact your teacher if you should have access to this tab, but it doesn't appear.
A Settings view appears for continuous enrollment courses where you change the course's Target end date, so you can finish earlier. Changing the Target end date generates due dates that will help you finish early.
View Student Grade details
Every scored activity has a Grade details screen that you can access by doing one of the following:
- Clicking an activity from the Grades screen.
- Clicking Grade details from the activity, itself.
On a Grade details screen, you can:
- See the activity's Score.
- Review the work you submitted.
- Read feedback Messages from your teacher.
- If Inbox is enabled for your domain, you can reply to Messages here.
- Review any attachments your teacher has returned with your score.
- Review your Submission history and class scoring Analytics for the activity.
- Print your activity score and content. Messages are not printed.
Tracking your own progress in so many areas can help you take control of your own learning.
