IC Gradebook question

[Katie Gourley]

We have always told the teachers that they need to fill in both columns percent and score when posting grades, as well as if they are giving a letter grade (incomplete or satisfactory) that they need to erase the percent column. This is how it has always been sense before I had taken over IC can someone please explain to me the reasons behind this and how it effects grading etc. I am new this year to this part of the job. 

Thank you!

Katie

You always need a numeric grade in the percent column if you want the term grades to calculate into a semester or final grade.  The system can't do math on A's and B's, and that column doesn't participate in calculation even if you put a number in there.

So the grade drop down box doesn't actually feed in to anything? Percent is really where the calculations come from.

[William Backman]

That is my understanding.  The grade box is designed to support just about any kind of mark to appear on a report card.  A,B,C,D.  E,M,P,D. etc.

I always think of it this way - the percent column calculates, the grade column prints on the report card.
