Gradebook Guide
View consolidated student scores, track progress across activities, and export data for reporting and record-keeping.
What It Shows
The Gradebook provides a consolidated view of student scores across all activities and classrooms. It's your central hub for tracking student performance and progress.
Final Scores: Each row reflects the final score for that activity, including any deductions you've enabled (e.g., missing name/ID comment).
Pass/Fail Labels: If you set a passing threshold (by count or percentage of tests), the Gradebook reflects a Pass/Fail label alongside the score where applicable.
Activity-Specific Details: For late/missing/overdue details on a specific activity, use that activity's Submissions table.

How It Fits Your Workflow
The Gradebook is the final step in your teaching workflow. Here's how it all comes together:
Create/Publish the Activity
Use the manual creation form or AI generator to build your coding assignment. Set grading mode, thresholds, and due dates.
Monitor Submissions
View submissions from the activity's Submissions table. Track who has submitted, who's late, and who's missing.
Review & Annotate
Review individual attempts, add annotations with shapes and arrows, and use discussion threads for deeper feedback.
Re-grade Where Needed
Adjust scores after student revisions or when you need to change which tests are counted. Toggle test results to update grades instantly.
Check Gradebook
View overall progress across all classes and activities. Identify struggling students and track class performance trends.
Export to Excel
Download your gradebook data for reporting, archival, or uploading to your institution's LMS.
Pro Tip: The Gradebook updates in real-time as you grade and re-grade submissions. No need to manually refresh or recalculate—everything stays in sync automatically.
Tips for Clean Data
Follow these best practices to maintain accurate, consistent gradebook data that's easy to work with:
Keep Grading Settings Stable
Keep grading mode and threshold stable once students start submitting to avoid confusion. Changing from Per-Test to Percentage-Based mid-assignment can drastically alter scores.
Make Requirements Explicit
Make identification requirements (name/ID in a comment) explicit in instructions to reduce automatic deductions. Students can't comply if they don't know what's expected.
Use Consistent Naming
Use simple, consistent naming for activities so the Gradebook is easy to scan and export. Instead of "Assignment 1 - Arrays and Loops (Updated v2)", use "A1: Arrays and Loops".
Gradebook Layout
Here's what you'll see in your Gradebook:
| Student Name | Activity 1 | Activity 2 | Activity 3 | Average |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Alice Johnson | 95Pass | 88Pass | 92Pass | 91.7 |
| Bob Smith | 75Pass | 55Fail | — | 65.0 |
| Carol Davis | 100Pass | 98Pass | 100Pass | 99.3 |
The "—" symbol indicates no submission. Pass/Fail labels appear when you've configured a passing threshold for that activity.
