Running Reports

As a teacher, you can run the Progress Report to list grade information for your scheduled classes and students. As an advisor, you can run the report for students who are your advisees. To include only category averages, final averages, and final marking column grades for each student, create a summary report. To additionally include assignment grades for each student, create a detail report.

To list student assignments with blank or M (missing) grades, you can use the Missing Assignments Report. You can use this report to check that students have turned in all assignments and all assignments have been graded.
