Finding your grades can show your progress in the class, and can show you the assignments that you may have not completed or turned in.

Remember that on Echo, you can customize a profile of yourself. Make it about you. Even if nobody reads it, you know that they can find some things out about you, and you can find things out about other people too.

 

Tip #10:

Read an Agenda Accurately. There are many things that you can look at on an agenda for your classes.These agendas tend to be very helpful, that is when you know how to use them. Often times facilitators use links on agendas to make tasks for the more accessible. Sometimes these links lead to videos, websites, homework submissions.
