V-Planner "S" Sheets - Column U

S-Sheet Column U

Latest version - V Planner V2.5-DT

A lot can happen in column U, but first let us take it from the top.

What's in Column U?

In Cell U3, you will choose a Grade Scale. Default is GS 1. You have two other choices - GS 2 and GS 3. GS 2 is, more or less, the classic 10 point grade scale - I think that is what people call it. GS 3 has NO grade scale, if you need the 3rd grade scale, you can add one at the GS-QP sheet.
Read more about grades scales at the GS-QP Sheet (Grade Scale - Quality Points)

The grading scales in the V planner are numbered in such a way as to work with the V Planner's formulas. For "regular" grading scales to use outside of V Planner, see this part of the High School page on "Grade Point Average": Two Grading Scale Examples

GS 1 - Close to a 7 Point Grading Scale - V Planner use only

0%	70%	72%	74%	77%	80%	83%	86%	88%	92%	94%	94%	98%
F	D-	D	D+	C-	C	C+	B-	B	B+	A-	A	A+

Items Related to the Term Grade Average Calculators in Column U

In Column U next to the graders you will see a Yes or a No. Yes is good, No is less than good. The formula behind No checks for several things regarding the set-up and use of the term grade calculators. There are explanations and pictures of what No means in the V Planner on the Err sheet.

Using, Not Using - There is a thorough explanation of what this drop-down control is for on the S-Help Sheet in the V Planner.

In Summary - What You Do In Column U

1. Choose a grade scale
2. Select either Using or Not Using next to the Term Grade Calculators. It is good practice to select Using on a calculator that is in Use. The latest time to set a calculator to "Using" is the day after the term is over.
