  3. You can view grades for assignments you completed in the grade book. You can view grades by looking for the specific assignment name then checking the score your professor gave you.

  4. In the grade book, you can test other possible grades you could have gotten on assignments. You can try grades by clicking on the grade you received for the specific assignment, erasing that score, and putting the score you want. Doing this changes your final grade, but it is only a tool; the changes you make are not final.
