6 | Publish Grades Methods to publish grades and feedback. We recommend using the first method. - Using MyCourses Gradebook (Course administration → Grades)
- Grades and feedback given via any MyCourses activity are listed in the Gradebook
- Student can only see his/her own feedback and grades
- Feedback and grades are published to the student immediately after teacher has given them. However, it is possible to schedule when the grades are published.
- Publishing grades in an attachment
- via "For Aalto" -section, if you need to publish the grades to those who are not members of the workspace, e.g. for those only doing the exams
- via News Forum topic, with the grades as an attached file. Only course participants can view the file after logging in to MyCourses.
- Make sure that you use only student numbers when publishing grade and feedback information
