The end is almost here! And it's the Final Countdown! We all know it's coming quickly. The end of the semester, and the pile of grading immediately afterwards is daunting and overwhelming. In our webinar this month, Jason Neenos and Paul Stoll talked through a number of great tips to keep in mind when finishing up your grades for ASU. They covered tips for pushing content from Blackboard, importing files, and manually entering grades. They answered questions about how to drop the lowest grade for students, and shared some terrific resources at https://students.asu.edu/facultycenter.
