Build your grade book by creating categories and adding grade items.

  1. Get the list of your evaluations and weights or percentages from your work plan.

  2. Create your categories to group related evaluations.

  3. Create a grade item for each evaluation for your course. When doing this, remember to add them to a category.

  4. If your grade items are already created, edit each one to add it to a category.

  5. Check to make sure your grade book matches what is under ASSESSMENT and EVALUATION on your course work plan.
