Top Knowledge Base Articles to Help Close Out the Semester
If you use the Moodle gradebook to calculate your students’ official course grade, you can use the WolfWare Grade Submit Tool to enter their final grades into MyPack (SIS). This will improve accuracy and save you time while avoiding the need to manually enter final grades directly.
With the deadline to enter final grades approaching, you may need to make final adjustments to your Moodle gradebook to ensure everything is calculated correctly. This overview article is a good starting point for relevant Gradebook support resources.
