A refresher for teachers at back-to-school time. (Courtesy of Mr. Lent and Mr. Woody)
- One of the main mistakes when setting up the grade book is not being consistent with your style of grading (you must do total point for all marking periods, or category weights for all marking periods, depending on your choice).
- Another common mistake is entering in a points assignment and grade(35/50), when the grade book is set up for category weights (all assignments 100%), or vice versa (you enter in a 90% for an assignment, which is category weights, rather than entering in a total points grade).
- If you are going to use category weights, the total of all categories used must add up to 100%.
