Choose a Student
1. Choose a student to grade.
2. You can grade the student by typing in the grade received. The +/- box is to add or subtract points from the total points given in the box to the left. This allows for teachers to see the points earned but still have record of points taken away for lateness or added for extra credit etc.
Note: The grade will automatically save. When it has completed saving, you will see Grade Saved As: in the box.
3. Teachers can also grade by grading icons if they have already set up the icons.
4. Teachers that use Standards-Based Grading can use the encircled buttons to push grades. When grades for the standards are given, the button on the left can be used to give the assignment a mark based on the standards. When a mark is given for the assignment, the button on the right can be used to grade the standards based on the mark for the assignment.
Note: If you cannot see the full standard listed, hover your mouse over the standard to see a box pop up with the full standard.
5. Use the red X to close out of the student's grade box.
