Is there a deadline for setting up the Gradebook in my WebTycho classroom?
There is no uniform deadline for setting up the Gradebook in WebTycho; however, the earlier before/during the semester, the better, for several reasons: • Students cannot submit any individual/private assignment unless the instructor has first created the assignment and made it “Available” in the students’ Assignments Folders. • Many adult students like to get started on assignments early. Since the Gradebook Assignment entry CAN be used as a repository for students’ private drafts before submission, instructors should create Assignments and make them available to students well in advance of due dates. • Students’ most frequently asked questions regarding assignments concern locating them when instructors have not yet created them or made them available in their Assignments Folders. • Creation of the entire Gradebook before the start of the semester not only helps clarify students’ expectations and avoid some anxiety about assignments, but it also frees up the instructor’s time for act
