We spend our day talking with Law School Deans and Registrars throughout the U.S., and we know that the grading process can be challenging. Registrar's spend weeks sending and chasing down emails to get the grades - on-time, and then more time manually copying grades from spreadsheets, documents (sometimes written by hand) and often embedded in emails, into the school's Student Information System - whether that's Banner, Peoplesoft, Ellucian, et al.
Protecting student anonymity, allowing faculty to apply class participation points, and ensuring compliance with grading curves, and removing non-JD and auditing students from the curve, is also difficult to manage in many of the country's law schools.
Our law school Grading application ensures grading curve(s) compliance, simplifies collection, accounts for anonymous grading, provides for class participation credit, can calculate weighted formative and summative assessments, and more, all in a centralized system that can be easily managed remotely.
Because we integrate with Canvas and other Learning Management Systems such as Blackboard and Brightspace D2L, faculty can easily access the application.
Enrollment, course, faculty, and student data is easily imported, and can be scheduled to run several times a day.
In addition to grades, law schools can also track Writing Requirements, CALI Award Winners, and up to eight other school-specific requirements.
The Grading application automatically sends notifications to faculty and Registrar's every step of the way - including reminders. Faculty can download Anonymous Grading Rosters and upload the grades easily, as well as download Final Grades after grades have been posted.
And faculty can request deadline exemptions and grading curve exceptions directly through the application, which can then be directed to the appropriate Dean or other administrator for approval.
This application is highly configurable to accommodate any law school workflow.
