How do I set all ungraded items to zero in Gradebook?

Updated on

Gradebook does not include ungraded items in the course grade calculation. This could result in a higher course grade average for a student if they have incomplete items. To include a Gradebook item in the course grade calculation, enter a grade of zero or higher.

To enter zeros for ALL Gradebook items that have not been graded, use Set Zero Score for Empty Cells.

See How do I set empty cells to zero for a single grade item? to take this step for just one item in the Gradebook.

Note. This action cannot be reversed once done, though can you still manually adjust scores in each cell if you discover that you've made an error.

Go to Gradebook.
