a. If you select Points, enter the number of points the student earned. Since the student earned 3.4 points, enter 3.4 in the points text box. The letter grade and percentage (if applicable) are automatically calculated.
You can enter points (out of 4), which supports decimal points. You can determine the number of Questions that make up an assignment, but the number of Points is determined by the district using the preference, Maximum points per standard (Proficiency Gradebooks), which defaults to 4 points. This preference is enabled via Setup > System Preferences > School Preferences/Default School Preferences > Grading tab for administrators.
b. If you select Percent, enter the percentage earned by the student or the percentage of questions answered correctly. Since the student answered 80% of the questions correctly, enter 80 in the points text box. The number of points is automatically calculated, as shown in the second image.
If your district has enabled the Minimum Percentage for Gradebook Grades setting via Setup > System Preferences > School Preferences/Default School Preferences > Grading tab, a gradebook grade percentage minimum, such as 50 percent will limit the percentages factored into students grades. If enabled, you can enter grades below the minimum percentage which will be visible to all users; however, the minimum percentage set by the district, in this case 50%, will be applied to students' overall grade average, as indicated by the green up arrow and information bubble.
c. If you select Questions Correct, enter the number of questions the student answered correctly. Since the student correctly answered nine questions out of 10 questions, enter 9 in the points text box. The 9 automatically calculates to a percentage out of 100 and the number of points is calculated as well.
Entering the number of Questions Correct or Questions Incorrect will translate to the correct number of points if the assignment is set up with a specified number of Questions entered on the Details tab of an assignment.
d. If you select Questions Incorrect, enter the number of questions the student answered incorrectly. Since the student missed one question, enter 1 in the points text box. The correct points and percentage are automatically calculated.
e. If you select Letter Grade, enter the letter grade. Since the student received an 75, enter the letter C. Note: Depending on the set up of letter grades and the corresponding percentages, the percentage calculated may vary. In the example shown, 75 is the corresponding percentage to the letter C.
A = 100
B-D = Average value, such as 85 for B.
F = 58 or 59.
Note: These numbers depend on grading scales set up by the district via Grades > Grading Scales & Comments.
