Guide to the Grade Report#
A grade report for your course is a time-stamped .csv file that identifies each learner by ID, email address, and username, and provides a snapshot of their cumulative course scores.
Scores in the grade report are presented by assignment. There is a column for every assignment that is included in your grading configuration: each homework, lab, midterm, final, and any other assignment type you added to your course.
Note
The grade report does not include information about individual problems within assignments or include learner answer distributions. For a report that shows problem-level information, see Generate a Problem Grade Report for All Learners in a Course.
The report indicates the enrollment track for each learner. For professional and verified track learners it also shows whether they have verified their identity. The report shows whether each learner is eligible to receive a certificate (determined by whether he has earned a passing grade at the time the report was requested), whether a certificate has been generated, and the type of certificate earned.
If your course includes cohorts, content experiments, or teams, the grade report includes additional columns indicating the name of the cohort, experiment group, or team that each learner belongs to.
The grade report .csv file contains one row of data for each learner, and columns that provide the following information.
Learner identifiers, including an internal Student ID, Email address, and Username.
The overall Grade, with the total score a learner has currently attained in the course. This value is expressed as a decimal: a learner with a grade of 0.65 has earned 65% of the credit in the course, and a learner with a grade of 1 has earned 100%.
Each {assignment type} {number} is defined in your grading configuration, with the score that the learner attained for that specific assignment. For example, column Homework 3 shows the scores for the third homework assignment. If the learner did not attempt the assignment, the value is “Not Attempted”. If the assignment was not available for the learner, the value is “Not Available”.
An {assignment type} (Avg) with each learner’s current average score for that assignment type: for example, “Homework (Avg)”. This column is not included if a particular assignment type has only one assignment.
This assignment type average takes both dropped assignments and the assignment weight into account. For example, if the course includes five homework assignments and the course grading policy allows one homework assignment with the lowest score to be dropped, the homework assignment average in this grade report is calculated over four homework assignments rather than five. This average is then multiplied by the assignment weight to calculate the assignment type average.
If cohorts are used in the course, a Cohort Name column indicates the name of the cohort that each learner belongs to, including the default cohort. The column is empty for learners who are not yet assigned to a cohort.
If content experiments are used in the course, an Experiment Group column indicates the name of the experiment group that each learner belongs to within a group configuration. The column heading includes the name of the group configuration. The column is empty for learners who are not assigned to an experiment group. If you have more than one experiment group configuration in your course, you see one column for each group configuration.
If teams are enabled in the course, a Team Name column indicates the name of the team that each learner belongs to. The column is empty for learners who have not joined a team.
The Enrollment Track column indicates whether each learner is enrolled in the course in the honor code, verified, or professional education track.
The Verification Status column indicates whether learners who are enrolled in course tracks that require ID verification have successfully verified their identities to your instance by submitting an official photo ID via webcam. The value in this column is “N/A” for learners enrolled in course tracks that do not require ID verification, such as “Audit”.
A value of “Not ID Verified” in this column indicates that the learner is enrolled in a course mode that requires ID verification, such as “Verified”, but she has not attempted ID verification, or her ID verification has failed or expired. A value of “ID Verified” indicates that the learner is enrolled in a course mode that requires ID verification, and her ID verification is current and valid.
The Certificate Eligible column indicates whether a learner is eligible for a certificate for your course.
The value in this column is “Y” for the following learners.
Verified learners who attained a passing grade before this report was requested. For example, the learner could have earned a passing grade in an earlier session, or run, of the course.
All whitelisted learners, regardless of grade or enrollment track.
The value is “N” for the following learners.
Learners who did not attain a passing grade.
Learners who are in the audit track.
Learners who live in embargoed countries.
For learners who are eligible to receive a certificate, the Certificate Delivered column has a value of “Y” when the certificates for a course have been generated. The value is “N” for learners who are not eligible to receive a certificate.
The Certificate Type column indicates the type of certificate that the learner is eligible for, such as “honor” or “verified”. If a learner is not eligible for a certificate, or if the certificates for a course have not yet been generated, the value in this column is “N/A”.
The Enrollment Status column indicates whether the learner is currently enrolled or unenrolled in the course.
