Enter Class Assignment Marks on GradeBook Grid

You can enter each mark individually for each assignment or assessment for each student on this screen, or when entering marks for any student on the roster, you can use the Fill Column or Clear Column options for all of the students for that assignment or assessment.

The Fill Column option does not override previously entered marks and late flags. However, it does override Missing indicators. If you want specific students to have Missing indicators on their assignments, after using the Fill Column option, set the assignments as Missing.

The Clear Column option overrides all previously entered marks but does not clear Missing, Late, or Excluded indicators.

When entering marks, you can press the Tab and Enter keys to navigate on the page. The Tab key moves the cursor across the screen from left to right. When the cursor reaches the end of a row, it moves down to the first mark field of the next row. You can also use Shift + Tab to move the cursor across the screen from right to left. The Enter key moves the cursor down the screen from top to bottom. When the cursor reaches the bottom of the Marks column, it returns to the top of the column. You can also use the arrow keys to navigate on the page.
