Payments and outside services are not connected in the demo.The **Gradebook** tab is the gradebook for the course you're in. Only course staff (the instructor, assistants, and admins) see it. It's the same gradebook admins open from **Academics → Gradebook**, but it opens straight to this course, so there's no course to pick.This page covers day-to-day grading as the course teacher. For grading settings, weighted categories, and grade items, see the full [Gradebook guide](/lms/gradebook.md).## Read the gradebookOpen a course you teach and choose **Gradebook** in the course sidebar. The **Grades** tab shows:- One row per student, sorted by last name. - One column per assignment, with its total points under the title. In weighted grading, each column also shows its category. - **Total**, the student's running result with a letter grade from your school's [grading standards](/lms/grading-standards.md). Items with no score yet are left out of the total until you score them. - **Final Grade** and **Comments**, for the official course grade. - A **Class Average** row at the bottom, and counts of students and assignments below the table.Use **Percentage** or **Points** to switch how scores are shown and typed. This only changes the display. How totals are calculated is set on the **Settings** tab.## Enter scores**1. Click a cell**Click the student's cell in an assignment column.
