This paper discusses the design of visualizations of student grade performance. A needs analysis identified five qualities of performance that students and faculty believe to be important. These were used as requirements for the design of several visualizations. These visualizations were implemented as an integrated feature of the electronic grade book of a popular Course Management System (Moodle). This paper discusses the motivations for our work, the qualities of performance identified, the implemented visualizations, and an initial evaluation of their utility.
