The gradebook tool in WebCT allows students to track their
progress in your course by seeing their grades as they complete assignments,
quizzes, or miscellaneous graded activities.
If you choose, you can even set up a formula so that students can see
their grade average as they turn in assignments. Throughout the semester you can download your
gradebook to your computer hard drive for archival purposes. These features assist you in providing timely
and valuable information to your students in an efficient manner.
