GradingAssignments,continuedNext to those names, you have columns for the assignment (green) and the standard(s). If you enter info. in the box under “score,” that would be grade the overall assignment. If you clicked “Auto Calculate assignment standard scores,” entering the SCORE will auto-populate standards. BE cautious with this though because you don’t want to fall into a trap of not actually scoring standards according to the rubrics.
You also get this gadget that shows you your options for scoring (from the grade scale), other special codes you can enter, and the comment bubble so you can leave a note. Lots of functionality at the click of a button!

You will see all students in a grid that includes current grade and then a summary of attendance and missing, late, incomplete work. These codes are part of scoring and you can use them however you feel works best for you. (In BCA classes the grade scale is AP-I, so you won’t see the A-F scale here either.)

Professional Judgment Indicator
You may see this icon when the software detects an oddity in a student’s performance. It might be that a student’s performance has dropped OR that their most recent scores are not indicative of their progress throughout the term.
This helps you remember that grading is more than calculations. Your professional judgment is important in the process of grading.
