2.4.1 Managing Students

At any time the instructor may wish to add a new student to the gradebook. To do so, the instructor select the Student->Add menu command. Refer to section 2.1 to see the menu bar commands. In response, the system opens a new window. Figure 1 displays the default window for adding a new student. At the top of Figure 1 is the "Student Last Name" and "Student First Name" field for the instructor to enter the student's name. Below name is "Student ID", the instructor must enter the last 4 digits of the student's ID number. Below ID Number is the EMPL ID a.k.a Employee ID number. Below EMPL ID is Login ID, which is the student's campus account. Under Login ID is the student's email address and below email is Class standing.  Class standing has a pull-down field with a listing of standings for the instructor to choose from.  Figure 2 has the detail view of all the standings possible.

See Figure 3 as an example of adding a new student. The figure indicates adding the student's name, ID number, EMPL ID, Login ID, email, and a Class standing. To add the student, the instructor clicks on the 'Ok' button at the bottom of the screen. A prompt window appears in response to inform the instructor that the student has been added. To close the window, the instructor clicks the 'Cancel' button at the bottom of the window.

Assuming the instructor is adding a brand new student to a gradebook, then the grader displays the gradebook shown in Figure 4. Figure 4 only has 1 student, 1 category and 1 grade item. There is no score grade for the grade item therefore no final grade.
