GradeBook Grid

For a Default or Custom Setup 1 class, the GradeBook Grid provides a traditional view of assignments and marks in the GradeBook. For a Custom Setup 2 class, the GradeBook Grid provides a traditional view of multiple standards-based class assignments, their assessments, and their marks. In addition to entering marks, you can also perform the following tasks:

•Enter daily comments

•Create Class Assignments for a Default or Custom Setup 1 Class

•Create Class Assignments for a Custom Setup 2 Class

•View missing assignment details

For a Default or Custom Setup 1 class, you must enter marks individually by assignment for each student. The GradeBook Grid displays a separate column for each assignment. At the top of the grid, each column displays the abbreviation for the assignment type, the due date, and the assignment description. You can click the assignment type abbreviation in order to return to the Assignment Marks screen, where you can enter marks for that particular assignment.

For a Custom Setup 2 class, you can enter marks for multiple standards-based class assignments and their assessments on the GradeBook Grid. The GradeBook Grid displays a separate column for each assessment to which an assignment is mapped, so marks can be entered for each. On the top column headers, assessments for the same assignment are grouped together, and a thick line separates them from other assignments’ assessments. At the top of the grid, each column displays with the abbreviation for the assignment type, the due date, and the assignment description.

Icons, symbols, codes, and colors display on the GradeBook Grid to help you identify missing, excluded, and late assignments, as well as the status of assignment marks and student progress alerts. Refer to the “Icons, Codes, and Keyboard Shortcuts Used on the GradeBook Grid”  table below for more details. You can also click to display the key on the screen.

Note: If a Shortcut displays in the chart below, you can press the keys as appropriate within a cell in the GradeBook Grid. Other icons and colors are for display only.
