The Submission Details page displays your grade, the amount deducted for the late penalty, and the final grade.

   • Depending on the grade calculation for your course, your total grade may display as a point value or as a percentage.
4. Your instructor may restrict you from viewing your total grade.

View Current and Total Grades

The current grade is calculated by adding up the graded assignments according to their weight in the course grading scheme.

1. This grade is calculated with the Calculate based only on graded assignments checkbox selected in the sidebar.

The total grade is calculated by adding all the assignments according to their weight in the course grading scheme (both graded and ungraded assignments).

2. To view the total grade, deselect the sidebar checkbox.
   • The grade at the top of the sidebar will reflect your total grade.

Note: If your instructor has restricted you from viewing the current and/or total grades, selecting or deselecting the sidebar checkbox still affects individual assignments. You may be able to see small changes with assignment shading indicating that a grade may be dropped from the course.

View Percentage Grade Calculation

The sidebar shows the information about how your grades are calculated.

1. If your assignment groups are weighted, the sidebar will show the breakdown of weighted assignment groups.

Assignment groups will always display as a percentage.

2. If your instructor allows you to view total grades, you can see a breakdown in the points you've earned versus the total points possible.
3. Your instructor may restrict you from viewing your grade totals in assignment group percentages.

View Points Grade Calculation

If your course does not use assignment groups, your total grade can be displayed in points or percentage. If your total grade is displayed in points, you can view your overall grade percentage. Again, your instructor may restrict you from viewing your total grade.

Change Gradebook

1. If you have more than one course, you can use the course drop-down menu to view grades in other courses.
