Mass Scoring Assignments

You can enter or modify scores for an entire class using the Mass Score option within the Gradesheet. The Gradesheet displays a list of students enrolled in the class as well as Assignments based on the Due Date. You can give every student in a class the same score for an assignment if all or most students have achieved the same score, such as 100%. You can then modify individual scores for the few students who did not achieve the maximum score or complete the assignment.

Additionally, you can:

  • Adjust all scores by a number of points

  • Remove all scores

  • Set all scores to No Count

  • Remove all No Count entries

  • Mark all Unscored as Zero and Missing

  • Remove all Missing assignment indicators

  • Remove all Score Clarifier entries

In order for an assignment to display as missing in Family Access and Student Access, the box for Missing must be checked. For a grade to reflect a missing assignment, you can enter 0 and flag the assignment as missing depending on your missing course work policy. A score marked with an asterisk (*) indicates the value does not count for or against the student grade. If you want an unsubmitted or unscored assignment to affect the student's grade, you must enter 0 for the assignment score.
