1.5.2. MyGradeBook
MyGradeBook is an online gradebook tool accessible by any teacher or professor
with an account. This product contains a good amount of functionality, but
also has some missing features. In particular, there are no graphs,
histograms, or other charts to allow the professor to change grading scales
quickly and efficiently.
MyGradeBook also includes many features useful in elementary and secondary
schools that are not useful in the Grader tool. Because MyGradeBook is an
online tool, it is available on any platform.
