Entry Screen
This is a clip from the Entry Screen. This is a traditional grade entry screen. The rubric entry of standards-based grades works the same, allowing you to give rubric scores and have them translated into standards performance levels.
Grades given to all students for an individual assignment can be seen. I also chose a "different" font. With the Entry Screen there are no scroll-Offs. On this particular screen I have sorted students by last name. A 34 point assignment is being entered by the Number Wrong method. A weight of 2 has been entered. PGGP uses relational weights so the 2 means that this assignment is figured into the average twice... is twice as important as assignments with weights of 1. (PGGP does _not_ use categories... setting "Tests" as 40% of the total grade.)
For John, a 1 (John missed one) was entered and PGGP computed this as a 97% and assigned an A for the assignment. No more grade slide rule! Click on the screen to get a feel for how it works.
Carol has an Incomplete paper. Perhaps she didn't even hand it in. The value for INC can be set between 0% and 100%. Janet had a late paper. In this example, I have PGGP's late penalty set at 10% so even though Jane got a 91, PGGP will average 81 into her overall grade.
Notice the presence of Group Entry buttons. These could be activated allowing you to give a single grade and have it distributed to members of the group. Each subject can have as many as 8 groups.
