Tag: Grade Book

Have you ever met with a student and wanted to review that student’s grades with him or her, but couldn’t because the Grade Book shows the grades of all the other students? This isn't a problem in Brightspace. You can use the Grade Book search to temporarily hide the grades of all the other students and only show the grades for a single student.

Follow these steps to do it.

To display one row in the Grade Book:

1. On the NavBar, click Grades.
2. On the Enter Grades page, enter the first and last name of the desired student in the Search For field and then click on search icon.
3. When done, you should only see the selected student.

Note: If you have more than one student with the same name, you can enter the 900 # of the desired student in the Search For field. Ultimately, your search results should yield the row with the desired student's record.

To display all rows in the Grade Book:

1. On the Enter Grades page, click on the Clear Search link.
