Large Enrollment Faculty Learning Community

It's that time of the term when we turn our attention to finalizing grades. Grading in large enrollment courses presents a unique set of challenges. In addition to calculating averages, exempting assignments, weighting grade categories, and dropping the lowest grades, a large enrollment course gradebook can involve integrating lecture and recitation grades, administering grades by student groups, and applying group project grades to individual grades. Instead of calculating these grades for just 15 or 25 students, it might be for 60, 120, or 250!

In this session, we'll discuss the effective uses of the Canvas Gradebook. We'll not only talk tips for effectively finalizing your grades this term, but we'll also look ahead to the next term and more efficient ways to set up your Canvas Gradebook at the beginning of the term to streamline the process for both you and your students.
