Enter Gradebook Scores

Use these procedures to enter gradebook scores for an assignment for individual students.

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.
   • 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 keys to select the 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 Save.

Enter scores with only one assignment in view

Use this procedure to enter gradebook scores for students on the Assignment Detail page which allows you to focus on scores for one assignment at a time.

1. Click

   

   on the Assignment's header to display the Assignment Detail entry page.
2. Click the desired score cell.
3. Enter the student scores. 
   1. 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.
   2. If

      

      displays in a cell or group of cells, scores cannot be entered in these cells. Score cells are shaded if the gradebook is displaying multiple classes for a period, and the assignment is not from the student's class. Also, scores cells are shaded if a student was not enrolled in the class on the assignment's due date, and TAC is configured to not permit entering scores for assignments prior to a student's enrollment.

       displays in the top-left corner of any entry fields that are not yet saved.
