AFTER you have all your written homework scores
in the MyLab gradebook inside Brightspace (I repeat,
AFTER), you will need to take the following steps
to put zeroes in all empty grade boxes, and AFTER
that, follow the instructions below to drop the
THREE lowest online homework scores. (We are not
dropping any written homework scores.)

Step 1. Putting zeroes in empty boxes:
--------------------------------------

In the left column of the Course Home window in
MyLab, click on Course Tools near the bottom, then
select Gradebook in the left column near the
bottom of the new menu. Click on the Manage
Incompletes tab. Make sure the

For students with work in-progress tests or quizzes

box is checked and the

Submit current scores

radio button is selected.

Also, make sure the

Submit zeros for students who have not started
the assignment

box is checked.

(These are probably selected by default.)

Click on the Assignment box at the top of the
list to select all the assignments with one click.

Scroll down to the very bottom and click on

Submit.

You'll need to do this for each of your sections.

Step 2. Dropping the 3 lowest online hwk scores
-----------------------------------------------

In the left column of the Course Home window,
click on Course Tools near the bottom, then
select Gradebook in the left column near the
bottom of the new menu. In the dropdown menu
of the More Tools tab (on the right), select

Drop lowest scores

In the Homework Category, select 3 from the
dropdown menu.

Click on Drop Lowest Scores

at the bottom.

Now click on Gradebook in the left hand column
and under View Results By, select the Assignments
dropdown menu and choose All Assignments.

You should see a list of your students with all
their scores scrolled off to the right. The first
column marked Overall Score is the one we will
use to determine final grades. If you click on
the Overall Scores heading, you can order the
spreadsheet by descending overall score. After
I share the cut-offs for grades with you, this
will make it easy to group your students in
grade categories.
