Grade Setup NAVIGATING TO SETUP TYPE Step 3: Click the Grade Setup tab. Step 4: Double-click the appropriate Reporting Term (eg: S1, Q1, Q2, etc) to setup that term. Step 5: Select your desired grade setup methodology based on the explanations on subsequent slides. - Total Points - Term Points - Category Weights
Grade Setup SELECTING SETUP TYPE – TOTAL POINTS No weighting involved. Every assignment calculated based on its number of points, regardless of category or term.
Grade Setup SELECTING SETUP TYPE – TERM WEIGHTS Assignments are averaged within a term, and at the end of a Semester (in this case S1), the two terms (Q1, Q2) are combined for a final grade. Quarters are combined depending upon the weights given. In the case above, each of the terms is weighted evenly (100 and 100). To change term weights, double click the weight value and enter new value.
Grade Setup SELECTING SETUP TYPE – CATEGORY WEIGHTS Grades are determined solely on the weight assigned to the category in which it falls. This option thus pays no attention to what term the grade happens to fall under. Grades are calculated on an ongoing basis until the semester ends. NOTE: You can combine Category weights and Term weights by setting up the Q1 & Q2 with Category weights and setting up S1 with terms weights. Click “add category” to bring up possible categories to weight and check boxes to add desired categories to your grade setup. To assign or change category weights, double click the weight value and enter new value.
