7 Grades

Note: You can only view grades for active courses you currently enrolled in.
Did you notice that all grade items start with a zero “0” in the points, weight, and grade columns?
Zero “O” in the Grades Tool
All grade items at the start of your course contain a zero “0” in the points, weight, and grade columns. The points and grades earned will be reflected in the grade book as you progress through the course.
