The Grades report shows the student’s achievements and grade trends against the course average. Helping understand the underlying direction of attainment can give teachers valuable insight into how assessments are working across the courses.
Grades Overview
The overview shows individual student grade trends against the course average.
Note: Some customers use the grade book setting 'Show course average for each assignment, test, etc.' to hide the overall grade average. The 360° Reports take this into account will also hide the grade average.
