Display Student Performance Trends in Gradebook

Use this procedure to display sparkline charts that show student performance trends on the Gradebook Entry page. Sparkline charts are a quick indicator of a student's upward or downward assignment scores trend. Because they display trends and not absolute score values, sparkline charts do not reflect students' scores relative to each other.
