Entering Gradebook Scores

Use this procedure to enter gradebook scores for individual students. Other procedures enable you to quickly assign scores to multiple students. Refer to the Related Topics section below for more information.

To enter scores for an assignment:

1. From Gradebook, select Entry to display the Gradebook Entry page.
2. If you are in SBGB Summary Mode, click for GB Entry mode or for SBGB Detail mode on the mode selector .
3. If you need to update the class or marking period, click Change to display the Class List pop-up, and make your selections.

4. If the assignment is not displayed on the assignment header, select the appropriate category or mark type in the Competencies and Marks filters or the Categories and Marks filter drop-down fields.

   • If the assignment header displays , the assignment is graded by rubric, and scores cannot be updated directly from the gradebook. Refer to Rubric Score Entry for more information.
5. Click in a cell and type a valid numerical or alpha score.
   • A score can be up to a three-digit number or an alpha score that your district has defined. You can double-click a cell to view valid alpha scores. Alpha scores can be used to exclude an assignment from a student's average or to give the student a percentage score.
   • If displays in a cell or group of cells, scores cannot be entered in these cells because the assignment is associated with a rubric, the student was not enrolled in the class on the assignment's due date, or multiple classes are being displayed and the assignment did not apply to this student.
   • A black triangle in the top-left corner of the score field indicates that the score is not saved (this will only display if Auto Saving is not enabled). A red triangle in the top-left corner of a score cell indicates that the current entry is an invalid mark; all invalid marks must be resolved before the gradebook will save scores.
6. Navigate to the next cell you want to score by using one of the following options:
   • ENTER key to move to the next student's score in the column.
   • UP/DOWN/RIGHT/LEFT keys to select any adjacent cell.
   • TAB key to select this student's next assignment score.
   • The pointer to click to select another cell.
7. When finished:

   • If you’ve enabled Auto Saving, you’re done. For more information about Auto Saving, refer to the Settings topic in the online help system.

   • Otherwise, click .
