How to use Complete/Incomplete grades in Gradebook

In the Gradebook, you can list Complete and Incomplete grades that do not impact the point total for the course. This is useful, for instance, to record whether a student has turned in their Co-op paperwork.

To set up the item:

  1. Go to the Gradebook in the Control Panel for your course
  2. Click on Add Item
  3. Add the Item Name and choose the appropriate category
  4. Set the following:
    • For Points Possible, enter 0 (zero)
    • For Display As, select "Complete/Incomplete"
    • Set the availability as desired
    • Set Include item in gradebook score calculations to "No"
  5. Click Submit

 

To record grades:

  1. Click on the item title
  2. Click on Item Grade List
  3. Enter the grades as follows:
    • Enter the number 1 for completed assignments
    • Enter the number 0 (or leave blank) for incomplete assignments

A completed activity will show as a green check mark in the student's gradebook. An incomplete will show a dash (indicating no work submitted).
