Setting up Gradebook
-
Every year you have to tell Gradebook how to figure out Yearly, Semester and Quarterly grades (it won't remember from last year).
-
Basically you have to set
-
The yearly grade has to have Semester 1 - Q1 20 Q2 20 E1 10 and Semester 2 - Q3 20 Q4 20 E2 10
-
Semester 1 grade to be 40% Quarter 1, 40% Quarter 2 and 20% Exam 1
-
Semester 2 grade to be 40% Quarter 3, 40% Quarter 4 and 20% Exam 2
-
Then you set up your quarterly grades in Q1 and copy those settings to the other 3 quarters
