2.4.5. Entering Scores

The user creates a new graded item as shown in Section 2.4.2. If the user specifies the graded item to have a grading style of either points possible or mark set, the gradebook displays the newly added grade item, 'Quiz', as shown in Figure 2.4.5.1.

Note: The concatenation of the overall amount possible to the end is a user option.

The gradebook displays a '-' for each student who's grade value has not yet been filled in for the graded item.

The user clicks on the grid below the 'Quiz' label, corresponding to the student whose grade he wishes to enter. The user enters the new grade value and presses enter or clicks outside of the individual cell to finalize the entered points or mark, as shown in Figure 2.4.5.2.

If the user specifies the option to display overall amounts possible to be off, the gradebook will instead appear as shown in Figure 2.4.5.3.

If the user specifies the graded item to have a grading style of complete/incomplete, the gradebook displays the newly added grade item, 'Quiz', as shown in Figure 2.4.5.4.

Figure 2.4.5.4: New Graded Item of Complete/Incomplete Grading Style


The Grader tool creates complete/incomplete graded items with a default value of incomplete. The gradebook indicates this with an unchecked checkbox.

The user clicks on the checkbox under 'Quiz' corresponding to the student they wish to change the completion status for. The checkbox toggles its value, indicating whether it is complete or incomplete, as shown in Figure 2.4.5.5.

The gradebook updates the student's total points, along with the mean, standard deviation, median, and ranges of both the graded item and entire class. If any grades remain unfilled, the Grader tool continues to display them as a '-' or an unchecked checkbox in the case of complete/incomplete.

The user follows the scenario as explained in Section 2.4.6 to change the entered grades.
