Gradebook

Gradebook Set Up

Begin grade book setup by clicking on GRADES from your course menu, then click Setup Wizard tab at the top of the gradebook screen.

Step 1: Choose Points. Teachers will not weight the gradebook. Assignments already impact the gradebook differently due to the amount of points awarded for the assignment, such as 5 points for quizzes and 100 points for tests. Hit Continue.

Step 2: Select Calculated Grade and check the box to Automatically release final grade. Hit Continue.

Step 3: Teachers will keep the “Drop Ungraded Items” and “Automatically keep final grades updated” settings. Hit Continue.

Step 4: Select Percentage as the default scheme. Teachers will use this throughout the semester. However, at the end of the semester, before finalizing grades, the grading scheme MUST be the OVCA MS/HS Grade Scheme. Hit Continue.

Step 5: The default is to display 2 decimal places. Hit Continue.

Step 6: Under grade details check all three boxes: points, grade scheme symbol & grade scheme color so students can see the grade schemes you previously chose. Hit Continue.

Step 7 will be a summary of the previous steps. Click Finish to save.

Before submitting final grades at the end of the semester, in Step 4 of 7, change the grade scheme to OVCA MS/HS Grade Scheme.

Any grade items in the content that will not be assigned need to be ‘hidden’ from students in the gradebook. See the video below for step by step instructions.
