Do the students Assignments Folders work about the same as my Gradebook?
No, the two areas are NOT comparable in either appearance or function!!!! • A student’s Assignments Folder functions as a creation center and “drop box” for private, individual assignments. It lists only the items the instructor has selected in Manage Gradebook to be “Available” there, i.e., only the items students should submit privately. It is not intended to provide an overview of the term’s work, as the Syllabus does and as the instructor’s Gradebook does. • By the end of the term, the Assignments Folder should be empty. Once graded, assignment items disappear from students’ Assignments Folders, to reappear in their Portfolios with grades/comments. • Grades do not appear in Assignments Folders at all; grades appear to students only in their Portfolios. • There are no “tabs” in Assignments Folders equivalent to what instructors see in Gradebook to distinguish assignments. Once you have set up your Gradebook, go to Faculty Center/Gradebook row/Preview Student Assignment Folder to see
