Final Grades should be reviewed at the end of each term. Final Grades are calculated based on the configuration of the Grade Setup tab. This article does not cover the configuration of the Grade Setup tab, but if you are concerned that your Final Grades are not being calculated correctly, then please see the Start of Term Checklist articles for more information about getting your GradeBook ready at the beginning of the term.

Please follow the instructions below to ensure that you review and check the Final Grades section of GradeBook correctly at the end of each term.

STEP BY STEP GUIDE

1. Launch Gradebook and select a class. We will use the Form 3 Creative Technology class in this example.

2. Select the Scoresheet tab

3. Select the correct Reporting Term. In this example we will be checking scores for Quarter 3.

4. Next, be sure to select the Final Grades mode in the Scoresheet Tab.

5. The Final Grades Mode shows a SUMMARY of all the assessments recorded for a particular term. This example shows that each assessment is grouped into one of three categories: Final Exam, Formative Assessment or Summative Assessment. Each category also specifies its overall Final Grade Weighting ie FE 40%, FA 30%, SA 30%.

6. This example also shows that grades are missing for many students at this particular time. It also shows that no students have received any scores whatsoever for the Final Exam category. Teachers should continue to enter, update and modify scores in the scoresheet until this page looks 100% complete and accurate.
