Individually scoring assignments is useful when students earned a variety of scores on an assignment. In this video, you will be entering scores for the Participation assignment for the Mathematics course. To begin the process, let’s head over to the Gradesheet within the Gradebook module. We’ll select the Mathematics course. We can choose Enter Scoring Mode to begin entering assignment scores. We’ll enter scores for Shaun Allen and Daniel Carter. Pressing Enter on our keyboard will advance us to the next student for this assignment. Jane Ives earned extra credit, so we’ll enter a score more than the maximum to indicate her extra points. We see a warning from the system that tells us the score we entered is more than the assignment is worth. Since we want to award Jane extra credit, we’ll continue on. Sharan received zero points on her assignment due to her not turning it in. Since we want to include additional details, we’ll click the Chevron icon for the assignment. We’ll notice a score clarifier for Low Score is automatically assigned since we have enabled this option administratively in the Entity Group Configuration of the Gradebook module. We’ll also flag her assignment as missing because she did not hand it in. Let’s continue entering scores for James and Brian. We can also leave scores set at an asterisk to indicate that we have not received the assignment for the student. In this case, Harriet was absent, so we’ll flag her assignment as No Count until she’s back in school. We’ll enter scores for Michael and Ellie. We want to add additional details for Ellie, so we can assign a score clarifier, indicating the assignment was handed in late. We’ll scroll down to enter Julia’s score. Once finished, we’ll select Exit Scoring Mode. Now that you’ve entered assignment scores, you’ll notice that the students’ grades for the term are calculating so guardians and students can stay up to date with each student’s scores.
