5. Account Verification Fill out the numbers/letters that you see and retype your password. This information lets engrade know that you are a real human being and not a computer program.

Congratulations! You've just signed up for engrade. Engrade automatically takes you to the page to set up your classes. The next activity will help you create an imaginary class so that you get the hang of it.

Creating a class

In this activity, we are going to create a class called "Advanced Argumentation" which meets during the Spring Semester of 2010. Below you are given a sample class roster with names and student ID numbers. While setting up the course, we will also define the grading scale that we want to use and we will create assignment categories (homework, exams, etc.) with different weights.

1. If you're not already on the "create a class" site... hover your mouse over "My Classes" and then click "Create New Class."
