2.1. User Interface Overview
The initial display consists of an empty gradebook. A tool bar allows a user (instructor) to do various things like create a class, create an assignment, use curve tools, view grade reports(student) and grade prediction(student).
When the user initially invokes the Grader tool, the screen appears as shown
in Figure 2.1.1.
