Class Preferences
The class preference page allows an instructor to control the products and features
available for the class. This allows an instructor to determine whether students can
post proposed discussion topics, or whether or not GradeMark or other products are
available in a class. An instructor can also set a class homepage link which is visible
to both students and the instructor on the class homepage and other class pages.
To open the preferences page for a class, click the preferences tab on the class bar.

un-checked.

Introduction
Each class or section created by an instructor has its own statistics page. From the
stats page, an instructor can view detailed usage statistics for a class.
To access the class statistics page, click on the statistics icon to the right of the class
on the instructor homepage. This icon is listed under the statistics column. The statis-
tics page for the class will open.
Statistics Overview
The statistics page will list information about the class in a table. The default view of
the stats will show the cumulative statistics since the creation of the class.
The stats page has options to display information for the maximum range or full
lifetime of the class or section, or only a selected date range.
To change to viewing only the statistics for a range of dates, use the Show: pull down
menu on the statistics page and select stats for a specific date range. Ranges of dates
available for the class will appear. Select the desired dates and click on submit date
range to update the stats page to only reflect these dates.
The columns indicate the following information:
name - the class, section, or assignment name
join/enrollment password - the class TA join or student enrollment password
ID - the class, section, or assignment ID number
students - number of students enrolled in the class
