Fine-Tune Your Gradebook Before Finals

submitted by strom@augsburg.edu

Your E-learning team is ready to help with any last minute adjustments to your Moodle gradebook. Below are a few tips to ensure your grades are clear and accurate for both you and your students.

By default, empty grades are not included in Moodle Gradebook calculations; only entered grades are included. This means that if instructors want students to have an accurate understanding of their progress in a course, a value must be inserted into the points window. If students have not submitted an assignment, instructors can insert a 0 (rather than leaving the place blank) to affect the final grade. Below is a link that explains how to quickly add zeros for all students who haven’t already received a grade for an activity.

Did you know you can view a percentage or letter grade in the course total for easy review? Customize your course total display in your Grader Report to show points, percentage or a letter grade. You can even display two of these at once!

Personal Care Assistants Needed

submitted by barrienb@augsburg.edu

Hi! My name is Bella and I am a third year student here at Augsburg studying graphic design. I am currently trying to find personal care assistants to help me in my day to day life here on campus. This would include getting me ready for the day, helping me get set up for class and assisting me around campus. I am currently looking for people who would want to work some hours during this school year! If you are a pre-med or nursing student, this is a great opportunity to get experience with patient care. Plus, you get to be paid to have fun!

I really enjoy getting coffee, watching Netflix, drawing, and painting. I consider all my assistants as my friends and if you work for me, you are guaranteed a good time! If you are interested, please text me at: 612-345-2855 or email me at barrienb@augsburg.edu. Hope you will join! *looking for females and AFAB people only please*
