Resources for Wrapping Up Your Semester
It’s (almost) a wrap! This semester is coming to an end, and ITG is here for you for those last few items on your to-do list before break.
Final grading
If you have used Canvas for grading throughout the semester but are unsure if your Gradebook has been fully set up to accurately calculate final grades, never fear! We are here to help. Our second end-of-semester Introduction to Your Canvas Gradebook workshop will take place over Zoom on Tuesday, December 17th at 1:30-2:30 PM ET. This one-hour Zoom session is geared toward beginners, but Canvas users of all experience levels are welcome. This session is geared to help you learn how to build a Canvas Gradebook that reflects the grading scheme in your syllabus, enter grades and feedback using the Gradebook and SpeedGrader, and manage the release of grades to students. Registration is required.
If you can’t make it to this workshop, check out our self-help guide on the Gradebook and/or reach out to us if you need any help. Upon request, we’re also happy to consult one-on-one with you!
Submit Your Grades
The Registrar put together this lovely step-by-step guide on how to enter final grades in Banner. If you encounter any issues, or have questions please contact their office at registrar@emerson.edu or (617) 824-8660.
