Click a student's name on the By student tab to open their record. The top is a summary. Everything else opens when you click into it: a chapter, then a category, then a single question.

Where
Your class, By student tab, then a name
Who can open it
You, any co-teacher on the class, and our admins
Students see it?
No. They see their own progress in their account

At the top

  • Name, email and dates: when they were last active, last signed in, and joined.
  • The grade. It says Suggested grade (a blend of scores, completion and participation) until you use Set course grade. Then it's your Course grade.
  • Message opens your conversation with them. Questions they send from the book with Ask instructor land here too, with the page attached.
  • Adjust grades changes a chapter exam score. See Change a student's exam grade.
  • Activity: Points (earned for work in the book), streak, active days, and time on task (time spent in the book: reading, working the steps and sitting chapter exams, each minute counted once). Each chapter row shows its own time on task too. Only active days feeds a grade: it is the participation part of the Suggested grade.

Chapter by chapter

Four cards sum up the whole book: Reading, Quizzes, Exams and Smart grader, the same numbers the class tabs use. Below them, each chapter has a row showing whether it is Not started, In progress or Completed.

  1. Click a chapter to open its four cards.
  2. Click View on a card to see every question or activity in it.
  3. Click a row to see the question, their answer and the key.

Smart grader rows also carry Re-read upload, Upload for the student, and Force pass. See Fix a smart grader score.

The Skipped badge

An amber Skipped badge means the student used Mark chapter complete or Mark section done in the reader to tick hands-on steps all at once, instead of one by one. Hands-on steps are on the honor system anyway, so treat it as a reason to check in, not proof of anything.

Grades you changed

Every grade you've changed is listed in an amber box under the header: the original score, yours, and who set it. Revert puts the original back.
