Grades: Entering Grades
Show me Entering Grades.
Access the Gradebook and click 
Enter Grades in the main menu to view the User List.
You have several options for entering grades, including entering grades by student, by grade item, or in Spreadsheet View (which allows you to enter data in any cell of your gradebook). Alternatively, you can import grades from a .csv file editable in Excel.
Display options in the Enter Grades area:
You can hide/show gradebook columns by clicking 
Display Options below the top toolbar. This does NOT hide them from the student view. See Creating Grade Items for details on hiding columns from students.
You can sort the gradebook by student firstname or lastname, or by any grade item. To sort, click on the name of the item (in the column header). Click again to reverse the sort-order on that item. (Note: You can't sort by text items.)
Use the View By: dropdown box to limit the number of students displayed in the gradebook. Choose a category and click Apply. If applicable, choose a section or group and click Apply again.
- User: displays all users
- Section: displays users by Registrar class number
- Group: displays users by Group (see Groups: Overiew), if groups have been created in the course
