When setting up your gradebook in Canvas, it is important know your grading policy and how you plan to assess your students. For example, how many exams do you plan to give your students? Do you plan to give weekly quizzes? How many points will the exams/quizzes be worth? You will use this information to setup your gradebook.

In Canvas, a column is automatically generated in the gradebook every time you create a graded activity. The main goal of this module is to show you how to setup your course gradebook. We will review and practice the following:

How to set the grading scheme for your course
How to create assignment groups
How to create assignments

*This is intended to be a hands on session, so you will benefit the most from this training if you have a completed syllabus that includes your grading policy and the point/percentage value of your assessments.
