I have faculty that are putting in grades to the gradebook and want to separate the students by groups. Each faulty member has around 10-15 students they grade in this course. Is there an easy way in the gradebook to show just their group of students assigned to them, so they don't have to scroll through all the student assignments?
Cheers,
Robert Lord
Hey Robert. I think you will be best off separating the students into sections. If you want you can go so far as to enroll the faculty only in the section they need to grade as well. Once you have created the sections, divided the students into the right sections, then you can set the gradebook to only display students in a particular section. I've included a screenshot below to illustrate this.
Here are some relevant guides to help you along your way. Let us know if you have any questions.
How are courses and sections related?
How do I add a section to a course?
How do I edit sections for an enrollment in a course?
And once you're done you'll have this nice list to choose from to filter the gradebook.
Robert, Adam Williams's recommendation is perfect and is definitely the way to go.
Over the years I've gathered that most people start their grading from the Gradebook, leading me to believe that I'm the outlier around these parts, because I always start my grading from the To Do list on my course home page, not from the Gradebook. So, once you've created your sections and have assigned your students to them as Adam has described, your teachers can click on any assignment that needs to be graded on the course home page, navigate to the SpeedGrader, and sort the students by section so that they are only grading the assignment submissions from the students in their respective sections. You'll find the instructions on how to use the various settings in SpeedGrader here: How do I sort the student list in SpeedGrader?
Thank you Adam and Stefanie for your assistance in this. This definitely answers my question I had about separating grades.
Cheers!!!
I know this is an old thread, so don't know if I should repost, but the ability to create new sections has been disabled on my end (as instructor) I assume by the institution. We have a situation where graduating seniors have grades that have to be in early and my class has a mixture of both graduating seniors and other students. Is there anyway to just group the seniors in an area where I can work on their grades separately without creating a new section (which I would very much like to do but does not appear that I can)? Thanks.
All, I see that Stephanie Kontrim-Baumann wisely re-posted this as a new question, so please direct any suggestions you might have to Grouping Students in the Gradebook? Cannot add a section.
