Sometimes it can be useful to see all the actions that have been taken with a grade in order to diagnose a problem or research a claim made by a student that they couldn’t submit their assignment. The Grade History can be a great source of information in cases like this.

On the Grade History page, you can view all grade actions within a course for a set date range and export that information. You can download the grade history to your computer as a comma or tab delimited file. This version of the grade history contains more information including the IP address from which a gradable item was submitted and graded.

  1.  Access your course, and click on Full Grade Center.

  •  A student started a timed test set to auto-submit but left the test. The system auto-submits the test when the
    time is up.
  • A student was removed from your course and an item’s attempt grade was then cleared.
