Worksheets 1-12- Adding Grades

Grades and points/credit may be entered into the white areas of each Module/Chapter block.

• Scores are added to the upper three rows.
• Each row can hold up to four scores.
• Credit/points are added to the lower two rows.

To enter a score from a test, quiz, lab book report, or other graded work, just type the number, such as 88, in the appropriate grade row (one of the upper three rows) and the 88 will be converted to 88%. Do not type the percentage mark.

To enter points or credits, type a number in any of the lower two rows. Type numbers such as -1, 1, 1/2, .5, etc. The actual value of the number will be added to the module/chapter score.

Worksheets 1-12- Grade Weight Options

Set up the weight values for each part of the grade block.

• The grade keeper can keep weighed grades or not.
• The upper three rows can each have a weight or not.
• At least ONE of the rows must have a weight value.
• If a row has no weight, do not add grades in that row because they will not count.
