End of Semester: Grading Wrap-up<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Set up your course Grading Scheme<\/a> if you did not do so at the start of the semester. <\/strong>Double-check to make sure that the grading scheme on your syllabus matches the grading scheme in Canvas.\u00a0 A standard Chapman University grading scheme is automatically enabled in your course site, so it is best that you compare the default grading scheme with your syllabus.<\/p>\n

\"default<\/a><\/p>\n

You can access and edit your course’s Grading Scheme from the Settings<\/strong>\u00a0link on your course navigation menu.<\/p>\n

Check your syllabus and confirm your gradebook matches your syllabus. <\/strong>Are your grades weighted? Or do you have a straight point total? If you need to set up weighted grades, review the instructions for setting up weighted grades<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ensure that there are no “hidden” assignments and all grades have been posted for all students.<\/strong>
\nHidden assignments are not visible to your students, so they give your students an inaccurate view of their overall grade in Canvas. Any grades that have not been posted will not be factored into the final grade in Canvas, so if you have not posted all grades for all students then you may end up with inaccurate final grades.<\/p>\n
