Hiding a Column in the Student Grade Book

If you have a lot of columns in your student grade book you may want to hide the columns you aren't working with in on your display. This just gives you a more manageable grade book to look at and you can always reveal columns at any time.

Instructions and Screenshots
Step 1

From the Designer Links or Control Panel, click Manage Course, and then click Manage Students. The Manage Students grade book screen appears.
