The Guide for Checking Your Grades Using Moodle

As written in course information , there are a few graded components to this course: 7 projects, participation (attendance), 2 intra-term written tests, 2 intra-term programing tests, and 1 final exam. This semester we are using Moodle to keep track of your scores. The pro of doing so is that you know your score for a component as soon as it is graded. This will give you a pretty good idea of your current standing going into a test or an exam.

In general the your scores will be updated as follows:

• Each project should be graded within 2 weeks after the due date.
• Each test (programing or written) should be graded within 2 weeks after it is written.
• Your score for class participation and attendance will be given before the final exam.
• The final exam will be graded within 2 weeks after it is written.

The following is an instructions for checking your scores using Moodle:

Checking Your Grade

1. After you log in, you should be able to see a menu on the bottom left of the web page called My courses. The menu should have a list of courses you are currently taking. Click on 2015 s-mcs-178-001 under My Courses. This is the link for the lecture Section of MCS-178, Spring semester.
   
   

2. On the bottom left of the web page there should be a menu called Administration. You can find Grades under Course administration
   
   

3. The drop-down menu on the upper left corner allows you to select different views for your grade reports. We illustrate this using fall, 2013's MCS-177 course work (2013 f-mcs-177-Yu) as an example. We are currently selecting User report. This should give you a report of all your current scores for the course. Please note the updating time for scores in each component (written above).
