12-16 - Grade Blocks

The Grade Blocks

12-16 is a flexible grade keeper. It includes 16 adjustable blocks for grades for each student. Think of each block as being for one part (1/16th) of a class or think of each block as a chapter or a module in a book. In each block, you can enter grade weights for up to 3 areas. Each grading block can be different. You can adjust each block to suit the work. For help with Lab WU see: Lab WU Help

Worksheets 1-12- Adding Grades

Grades and points/credit are added in the white areas of each Module/Chapter block.
Grades are added to the upper three rows.
Credit/points are added to the lower two rows.

To add a grade from a test, quiz, lab book report, or other graded work, just type the number such as 88 in the upper three rows and the 88 will be converted to 88%.

To add points or credit, type a number in any of the lower two rows. Type numbers such as -1, 1, 1/2, .5, etc. The actual value of the number will be added to the module/chapter score.

 

Worksheets 1-12- Grade Weight Options

The grade keeper can keep weighted grades or not. The upper three rows can each have a weight or not. At least ONE of the rows must have a weight. If a row has no weight, don't add grades in that row because they will not count.

One Row - One Weight of 100%

This image shows only one row with the weight of 100%. With this option only 4 grades can be entered.
