Mark Averages Calculation Page

Use this page to calculate the mark for a mark type based on the average of marks received for other mark types. The average is calculated based on the average setup for a course. For example, the mark averages calculation may calculate the Semester mark for marking period 2 based on the average of the marking period marks for marking periods 1 and 2 and the exam mark for marking period 2. For more information, refer to Average Setup Page. To see a flow chart of the mark averages calculation processing, refer to Overview of Mark Averages Calculation.

Note

The Mark Averages Calculation does not calculate average marks for Average Setups that are defined to be used in Gradebook. These averages are calculated when teachers click Load from Gradebook on the Report Cards page in Teacher Access Center or when an administrator uses the Load Gradebook Averages option to load Teacher Access Center Gradebook averages to report cards.
