The Grade Forecast tool is available for students and instructors to easily make grade predictions based on current grades. By default it is turned off, however instructors can turn it on within the gradebook in the "Course Grade Settings" tab (steps included below).
1. Click on "This Course" and then "Grades" in the top panel of the course-site.
2. Now select the "View" tab and then "Forecast Report" tab.
3. Choose a user from the "Select a user" dropdown list.
1. Go to Gradebook Setup in your course-site.
2. Click on "Course Grade Settings" tab.

3. Go down to the section that says "Forecast Report."
4. Change the option in "Enable for Students" to Yes.

5. Click on "Save Changes" at the bottom.
1. Click on "This Course" and then "Grades" in the top panel of the course-site.
2. Now select the "Forecast Report" tab.
On the new page, you will see points entered for items that have been already graded. At the same time, for items that have not been graded yet, you can enter your predicted scores and see what the final grade might look like. The picture below shows a typical grade forecast situation.
A student has received grades on all five assignments and a midterm exam. The student has still not received grades for the final exam. By entering anticipated points in this blank space, the student/instructor can predict the final overall score.
Note: Percentage scores predicted by the Forecast Report do not translate directly to a particular letter grade. Different instructors may use different grading schema or curving.
