How do you get students to track progress throughout your course?

Using eCompanion Gradebook
Mary Bethe Neely, Instructor, Chemistry


My CHEM 101/102 students can view their homework scores and correct answers and explanations the day after each deadline. The scores are automatically posted into their gradebook. I also post their quiz and exam scores as soon as I have them graded (generally the same or next day). However, the gradebook cannot be used for the students to calculate their actual grade since I drop their lowest homework and quiz scores at the end of the semester, and their lab grade (which is not on eCompanion) counts as 25% of their overall grade. So I download the grades from eCompanion into my own excel spreadsheet which actually calculates the students final grades.
