CHAPTER 6
GRADEBOOK
The Gradebook activity provides the members of a conference (students) access to their grades. The instructor will usually post a comment indicating that a Gradebook has been set up. Each time a new grade is added to the gradebook (for an assignment, test, exam, etc.) a notification is sent to all the members of the conference that the new grades are available. Individuals grades are private, conference members are only allowed to view their own grades.
6.1 Viewing Grades in a Gradebook
To see your grades, enter the conference where the gradebook is stored (your class conference), select review activitY list, and then select Do. EIES® will ask: Enter item number of the activity (#/c#cc# ) >. Type the comment id number of the Gradebook. The next screen will present the header of the conference comment that contains the Gradebook. Select View/read grades. A screen similar to the following will be presented.
The Activity Gradebook Do Screen lists each assignment (quiz, exam, homework, etc.) the instructor has entered to date. Member Score is the score you received on the assignment. A - in this column indicates the instructor has not recorded (and may not have received) your score for this assignment. The Minimum and Maximum Scores represent the lowest and highest scores attained by any member of the conference. Weight is the percentage the particular assignment is worth towards your total (or final) grade. For example an assignment that has a weight of 10 is worth 10 percent of your final grade.
If there is more than one page of grades, select Next page until you come to the last page of grades. After all the assignments are listed, two additional lines of information will be displayed on the screen. The Member Over All Weighted Average lists your current average based upon the weights assigned by the instructor. The Class Over All Weighted Average indicates the same for the class.
IMPORTANT NOTE: From time to time, the grade averages are not calculated correctly. If you believe your average is not correct type +grade to correct your average and then view your grades again.
