AmyontheFarm Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I'm struggling on how to calculate grades for a class. There are 44 lessons which I want to grade the following in each lesson: Vocabulary Quiz 30% Mapping 30% Written study note review 40% That all equals 100% There are also 9 Chapter Tests and I would like them to count as 100% on their own. Is there an online gradebook that will let me do this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKS Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I'm struggling on how to calculate grades for a class. There are 44 lessons which I want to grade the following in each lesson: Vocabulary Quiz 30% Mapping 30% Written study note review 40% That all equals 100% There are also 9 Chapter Tests and I would like them to count as 100% on their own. Is there an online gradebook that will let me do this? Let me see if I understand. You want the vocabulary, mapping, and notes to count for half of the grade, and the tests to count for the other half. Is that right? If that is what you are saying, the weighting would be vocabulary 15%, mapping 15%, notes 20%, and tests 50%. Or do you want the vocabulary, mapping, and notes to count for 1/10 and the tests to count for 9/10? If that is the case, the vocabulary would be 3%, mapping 3%, notes 4%, and each test would be 10% (or all 9 would be 90%) This online grade book will do the weighting for you. There are several others as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regentrude Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Excel. Just weight them with a multiplier in a formula. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyontheFarm Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 EKS Thanks for that link. I had tried to use it previously and that is what drove me back to here. I was entering the grade in a basic excel file and the grade average is off from my excel to the Engrade file. I just went back into my Engrade account and changed all the %'s and the grade stays the same. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiana Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 What do you have entered in the Excel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyontheFarm Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 For the Lessons Vocab Quiz 30% * grade = A Mapping 30% * grade = B Study Notes 40% * grade = C Lesson Average A+B+C = D Generally there are 3 lessons and then a Chapter Test The Chapter test is graded out of 100. So, for a chapter grade. I add up the "D"s D+D+D+Test and divide by 4 (in this example). If there are 4 lessons then I have D+D+D+D+test and divide by 5.
