Final exam grade does not
affect the R6 grade. Final exam grade only affects the semester grade.
- the final exam grade does NOT appear on the report card.
Example:
Semester grade=
R6 grade (80%) and Final exam grade (20%)
1. Click on the Def link next
to the desired class.
2. Click on the tab labeled "Report
Card Averages".
3. There are four columns
on the top half of the "Define Report Card Averages" page.
To setup this method of grade calculation you will make adjustments
to all four mark types listed in the "Mark Type" column.
4. Begin
by clicking in the "Current View" column to select "EXM
- Final Exam".
5. Look
at the bottom half of the page. Uncheck all items as shown
in the example on the right. Note that you may check an alternative
category if you wish to have another
category grade appear on the report card.
6. Switch the current
view to the "EXMNP - Final Exam- No Print" row. Check
the override box in this row.
7. Uncheck all items
in the "Include" column EXCEPT for "Final Exam"
following the method described in item 5 above. This insures
that the
Final Exam grade does not appear on the report card but will
still affect the semester grade.
8. Switch
the current view to the "RPT" row. Check the override
box in this row. |

not be affected by the Final Exam score.
10. Switch the
current view to the SEM mark type and check the Override box.
11. Look
on the bottom half of the page. Click the Override option next
to EXM-Final Exam. Change the Weight

the
Final Exam grade will make up 20% of the semester grade but will
not appear on the report card. |

14. Click Override
next to the RPT-Report Period row and enter a value in the Weight column.
Click Save. In the example above the R6 grade makes up 80% of the semester
grade.
