The 5 Days of Gradebook: Day 1

Check Your Set Up Wizard! 

Welcome to the 5 days of Gradebook series! This week we will share simple tasks that you can do to check your Brightspace gradebook to make sure it is functioning properly and matches your Course Information Sheet. 

The first tip is to check your Setup Wizard.  

  1. You can find this from the Grade Center on the navbar. 
  2. Then click on the Grades tab.  
  3. Go to the Setup Wizard tab.  
  4. From here, you will run through a series of seven steps to confirm your settings.  
  5. You will want to make sure you have chosen a point-based or weighted grading system.  

The following video will give you additional information to check your Setup Wizard with a weighted grade system example. 5 Days of Gradebook: Day 1

Gradebooks are unique to each course, so if you need help, reach out to the Virtual Campus Team during drop-in hours over Zoom. See our support hours and Zoom link.  

Stay tuned for Day 2 tips!
