Working with Regular Evaluations
Use these procedures for working with any regular evaluation—that is, any evaluation except the attendance evaluation.
How To
Navigate to the Evaluations screen.
Click Add an evaluation.
The system displays the Add an Evaluation screen.
Fill out the form as needed. If you need help with any particular field, refer to the Attributes of an Evaluation section.
Click Save.
If you have created a regular evaluation, you will need to manually enter a score for each student before the end of the term. Bear in mind that scores are immediately visible to students after being entered.
If you do not enter a score for an evaluation, then the system will ignore the item when it calculates the student’s final grade.
For the attendance evaluation, you do not enter scores, because they are automatically determined by data that you enter in the Attendance feature.
To enter or update scores for a regular evaluation:
Navigate to the Evaluations screen.
Click the name of the evaluation you want to work with.
The system displays a screen that lists the students in the course. For each student, the system lists either the grade that you already entered, or a series of grading icons that you can use to enter a score.
If a grade has already been entered for any student, you can run your cursor along the right of the score to make the grading icons display.
For each student whose grade you need to enter (or change), use the scoring options to enter a grade. If you need help with the scoring icons, see Entering Scores or click the How to enter grades link.
Use this procedure to delete a regular evaluation. If you have entered any scores for the evaluation, those scores will also be deleted, and students’ overall grades will be updated to reflect the change.
If you need details on deactivating the attendance evaluation, see Working with the Attendance Evaluation.
Navigate to the Evaluations screen.
Locate the evaluation you want to delete and click the corresponding trash-barrel icon.
The system displays a pop-up window asking if you’re sure you want to delete the evaluation.
Click OK.
The system removes the evaluation.
Note
An alternate way of deleting an evaluation is available on the screen where you enter students’ scores for the evaluation. Just select More > Delete this evaluation.
