Hawkes has released a few key updates to improve your user experience. Watch the video below & read on to learn more about these changes.

Assignments Tab Reordered

We’ve grouped the 3 most used options (Lesson Due Dates, Curriculum & WebTests) together at the top of the Assignments tab for smoother course setup.

Typically, the first step in the setup process is selecting the lessons you plan to assign to students; next, you’ll want to ensure that the content within these lessons matches your course objectives & curriculum. This is why we’ve placed them in the top spots on this page, followed by the WebTests option so that you can supplement our lessons with your own custom-built assignments, if you so choose.

Search By Criteria Now Allows Grade Values Over 100

In Grade Book > Reports > Search By Criteria, you may now enter values over 100% as the maximum search value for Overall Grade & Assignment Group’s Grade. This allows you to more easily find and communicate with students who have received a grade higher than 100% on certain assignments when bonus points are available.

Reminder: Once you have filtered your Search By Criteria Report and received a list of students within your desired parameters, you may send an email with the selected students BCC’d and/or save your filter options to easily bring this information back up in the future.
