Publish Grades

Methods to publish grades and feedback. We recommend using the first method.

1. 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.
2. 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
