About
The Student Grades Dashboard in Brightspace provides affiliation users with comprehensive access to student performance data. This dashboard contains two key reports:
- Progress Checks Only (GR - A - Progress Checks Only): A high-level summary of cumulative progress check scores.
- Gradebook Report (GR - A - Gradebook Report): A detailed view of individual graded items, submission statuses, and score timestamps.
These tools help affiliation users monitor academic progress, identify areas of concern, and support data-driven decision-making.
