Getting Started with excusing a single student’s grade from calculations
It can often be difficult for instructors to account for or plan for individual students' circumstances, so this change gives instructors the ability to excuse individual grades as they see fit.
- On the left-hand side, select Gradebook
- In the Gradebook list that appears, underneath the assignment for the specific student’s grade you want to alter, select the dropdown arrow. From there, click on “Excuse/Include Grade.”
