Once inside Gradebook, the list of classes will be displayed along with student names.

To Move Previous Grades to the Current Term:
There are shortcuts within Gradebook that can save some time. One such shortcut is to right-clicking on the Assignment column heading. This action will present a Copy / Paste drop-down menu.
Example: Copy a full column of grades from one Term (Q1) to another (Q2). This will give the option to continue the skills from the last snapshot.
