[gradebook2-dev] Gradebook 2 working with sections

[JOSE MARIANO LUJAN GONZALEZ]

Hi Mike,
Thanks a lot for the quick answer, you are right, thats the way we  
wanted to use gradebook, until now, we've tried it without out  
problems on sites with one section but next year we expect to have an  
increasing amount of sites with 2,3 or more sections. The problem  
comes if those sections want to work independent, which will happen  
for sure. What worries us more is the confusion that can be created  
for students between sections, seeing grade items that are not for  
them. We already configured permissions so that an instructor can only  
see and grade their section students, not all site students.

Thanks,
Mariano
