How Students Check Their Grades

How do students check their grades? Have you had this question from your students? Here are a couple of ways:

Way 1:

• Look at the Grades nugget on the Course Home Page
• Click the Refresh button in the bottom of the box to see the most current scores
• When a student clicks in the grades box, it will automatically open the Report tab for additional detail

Way 2:

• For very specific information, click the Report tab
• Under Category, select Grades
• Click Run
• Scroll down the page to see the detailed report of assignments, grades and comments

You, as the instructor can see copious detail about all of your students. Students, however, can only see their own information so you have no worries about privacy issues.

So you have a couple of cool things going for you with the ANGEL gradebook:

1. First, ANGEL does all the calculations for you and keeps a running tally of the students' scores and
2. Second, it meets FERPA regulations. A win-win situation!

Online Tutoring

The first several weeks are gone and now students are beginning to struggle.  Where do students turn for help with math or writing assignments?  For those of you teaching Success Orientation, you may want to pay special attention to the following information.

How about the Math and Writing Tutoring Groups!

The Math and Writing Tutoring Groups work a little differently than they have in the past.  Students who would like a little help with their math or writing can JOIN a Group in ANGEL.  Here is how they do it:

• From the student personal home page, look for the nugget marked "Community Groups"
• Click the "Find a group" link at the top of the box
• Click the Search button - they do not have to fill in any other information, just click Search
• Now they simply select Enroll (no PIN required) and they are a member of the group

It is that simple.  

Now, when they would like some help, they can go into the Tutoring Group and request help.
