Mark Lists

A Mark List defines the grades for an entry. It is the list of grades that you select from when giving a student a grade. The Mark List also contains the percentage score that each grade gets.

CREATING OR EDITING A MARK LIST

Begin by choosing Mark Lists from the Gradebook menu.

CREATE A NEW MARK LIST

To create a new Mark List, click the New Mark List button. A new Mark List will be added to the list on the left.

EDITING A EXISTING MARK LIST

Click the name of the Mark List from the list on the left.

Mark List Name - Name your Mark List a name that describes the Mark List. For example, "ABC" or "OSU".

CREATING A NEW MARK

EDITING A MARK'S SETTINGS

Mark - Use this field to type your mark (or grade). For example: "A+" or "O-". Marks are limited to three (3) characters.

Score (%) - This field is used to define a mark’s Top Score. The Top Score is the number used by the Gradebook when grades are averaged or calculated. If, for example, you have set the top score of "B+" to 87, the Gradebook will convert a B+ to 87 when generating a student’s average. This number is also used when the Gradebook applies averaged grades to the Report Card, and when grades are converted from one Mark List to another.

Delete Mark - Click this button to delete a Mark.

Move Mark Up - Click this button to move the selected Mark up in your Mark List.

Move Mark Down - Click this button to move the selected Mark down in your Mark List.

When you have finished creating and/or editing your Mark Lists, close the New Mark List window.
