Gradebook
The Gradebook provides online management of grades for assignments and exams. Stellar can perform weighted calculations for these grades, display cumulative scores, and create a private Grade Report for each student. In addition to creating assignments in the gradebook, you can also import assignments from Homework into the Gradebook. This means you can enter all grades for online and offline submissions in one location, and Stellar can perform grade calculations for all class submissions and exams.
