The Illinois Compass grade book works like a simple spread sheet program. To set up the grade book, you must create and define the columns where the grade data will be stored.
To access the Grade Book tool, select the Teach tab, and under Instructor Tools select Grade Book.
Use the dropdown menu next to Create Column to select what type of column you want to create.
You can choose from Alphanumeric, Calculated, Letter grade, Numeric, Selection list, or Text.
You can also add columns while in the column settings page. To access the column settings page, click on Column Settings from the Grade Book Options dropdown menu.
Select the Teach tab, and under Instructor Tools select Grade Book.
Click on Reorder Columns.
To move a column:
Confirm that the column has been moved to the correct place. Click Save.
You can determine which columns display in the Grades, Members, View All, or Custom View tabs. The settings are on a per-tab basis: the same column can be hidden in one tab and shown in another. Since exporting column information can be limited to exporting only displayed columns, hiding and showing columns is a useful way to export only certain information.
Select the Teach tab, and under Instructor Tools select Grade Book.
Click Reorder Column.
Select the column(s) that you want to hide and click Hide. When you are finished, click Save.
Most column attributes can be changed from the column settings page. Below is the list of items that can be modified on the column settings page:
Click on Column Settings from the Grade Book Options dropdown menu.
Column settings can be changed by simply toggling the values
displayed in the column settings page.
Note: Some of the values in the default columns cannot
be changed.
Alternatively, on the Grade Book screen, you can click on the gray arrow next to the column name to achieve the same result.
