LESSON PLANNER PREFERENCESIn your lesson planner
preferences you have three options:Use weighting on groupsUse each scores percent value for
calculation (rather than points)Grading Scale- this should already
be set to “secondary”
USE WEIGHTING ON GROUPS If you are a teacher that weights different
types of assignments, this option needs to be selected. If you are a teacher that grades by total points, leave this option off.
Example: Daily Assignments 30%Homework
20%Tests 50%
Warning: If you use this option, make sure your tasks add up to 100%, otherwise grades will not calculate correctly.
USE EACH SCORES PERCENT VALUE FOR CALCULATION This option calculates grade based on
their percentage values rather than the points that they are worth.
For example: A student receives a 20/20 on one assignment and a 50/100 on another. Normally this would calculate to a 58.3% (70/120). If you select the percent value option the same student would receive a 75% ((50+100)/2)
CREATING A NEW TASK GROUP Create a name for your task group. Example:
Daily Work If you selected “Use weighting on groups”,
insert a percentage that you would like to assign to that group. Example 30.
Select which term this group should be a part of.
CREATING A NEW TASK GROUP Three other options can be set when
you set up a new task group.Hide View from Portal- this controls
whether or not parents can see this the grades for this group of assignment
Exclude Group from Calculation- selecting this would keep this group from being calculated in the students overall grade.
Drop Lowest Score- this drops the lowest score in this group of assignments so that it is not calculated in the students overall grade
ONCE YOU HAVE CREATED A NEW TASK GROUP IT WILL APPEAR UNDER THE TERM THAT YOU PLACED IT IN
New task group folder
FILL IN THE DETAILS OF YOUR ASSIGNMENT INCLUDING NAME, ABBREVIATION, DATES, TOTAL POINTS, AND DESCRIPTION.
CREATING STUDENT GROUPS This option can be used in order to
give specific assignments to a particular group of students in one class.
THE GROUPS WILL APPEAR AS AN OPTION TO BE SELECTED WHEN CREATING A NEW ASSIGNMENT.
Assignment will only be scored for the students in the selected group
