Thanks for the help with the gradebook. I confess I have not enjoyed working with the gradebook at all--must be too much like Math for me. Now, I just do the simplest thing but will go in and explore. The gradebook, like the test builder, is very time consuming.
Any other comments?

Yes, I totally agree. How can you keep the columns visable so you can scroll through the pages in order update the grades? I spend so much time scrolling back and forth to be sure I am posting the proper grades to the proper students.:)

Are you guys using the custom gradebook or are you using the standard one that comes with the course? It seems to me that most of the problems we are experiencing come when we use the customized gradebook. Unfortunately, the one that comes with the site is not as all-encompassing as we would like it to be. Another problem with the gradebook is that if you use the customized gradebook, it won't add totals for you.

If you aren't able to use the gradebook, how are you getting student grades to them? It sounds like it would be a lot of work to not use it...

Anyway, I just spoke with our client care rep from Embanet yesterday and filed a "formal" complaint about the gradebook and the chat room....I will send you all more details about that via email.

I agree with everyone's comments. I use the custom gradebook (because the other one is too limiting), and I hate my weekly update sessions. Sometimes (like now) I find anything else to do .............. Sigh ...........

One thing that Embanet might consider is making the titles appear at both the top and bottom of the columns (and the names on either end of the rows). That would help some, at least.

Okay, back to grading. :(

I agree. The additional titles do help. I have about 25 grades per student so I use a conventional gradebook for now.
