About course grades in iTunes U for web
iTunes U displays overall progress for students enrolled in your private course in the course Admin | Grades pane. Students can submit their work directly to a specific assignment and, once assignment homework is handed in, iTunes U organizes all the assignments in one place, making it easier for you to review and grade. iTunes U uses a points system for grades.
To access the grade book, click a course name in the dashboard, click Admin , then click Grades. Use the course Admin | Grades pane to grade course assignments, view grade averages, evaluate how the students in your course are progressing with their assignments, and to communicate privately with each student in your course.

Student list | View students enrolled in the current course. Click a student name to view the student’s grade point and average, when the student last visited your course, email the student (if an email is associated with the account), or hide other students enrolled in the course to focus on an individual student. Click to hide student grade averages. iTunes U saves your hide/show preference for each course. For example, you can hide grade averages for Algebra 1 and show grade averages for Algebra 2. Note: For a managed course, if a student is removed from an Apple School Manager class, iTunes U displays the student dimmed in the bottom of the grade book. | ||||||||||
Assignments header | View assignments associated with the current course. Click an assignment header to view homework hand-in and grade status.
