| What
do I do when a student didn't match when combining terms but should
have? |
| In
most cases, the problem occurs because the student's name or ID number
in the prior-term class is different. Correct this and then, from
the current-term class, choose Term Tools->Recombine Terms from the
Tool menu. Easy Grade Pro will start the process over and, again,
let you know who hasn't matched. |
| How
often do I need to combine terms? How do I recombine terms? |
|
Generally, you will combine terms only once for a class. However,
if you make any
changes to grades or attendance data in any of the prior term classes,
you must recombine the terms to copy the updated data into your current
term. To recombine the data, choose Term Tools->Recombine
Terms from the Tool menu. |
| How
do I un-combine terms? |
|
You may occasionally want to combine terms just long enough to print
certain reports. To later un-combine terms, choose Term Tools->Combine
Terms from the Tools menu. Press on each prior term class listed in
this window and choose
None in the menu that appears. When you exit from this
window, your class will be un-combined. |
| How
is a class changed by using combine term options? |
|
After combining, the Overall grades and attendance totals found in
charts, in summaries and in reports reflect all combined terms. Many
reports and summaries will display multi-term data automatically or
as an option. In the score and attendance charts, special columns
can be added to display data from individual terms. See
To add a column to display points earned, term grades, attendance
totals, special student record information, class rank, etc. |
FAQ:
I've combined terms but the prior-term grades or attendance
data in reports are wrong. How do I fix this?
This problem occurs if you change grades or attendance
marks in a prior-term class after you've combined its data
with your current-term class. To fix this, choose Term Tools->Recombine
Terms from the Tool menu. This will copy the changed data
to your current-term class. |
|
FAQ:
I need to print reports that show grades from multiple terms
but I don't want the grades to be combined to form a multi-term
overall grade. What do I do?
Choose Term Tools->Combine Terms from the Tool menu. In
the Term view of the Class Options window, combine your terms
using weights, but set the term weights to 100% for the current
term class and 0% for all the prior-term classes. |
|
FAQ:
I have to include a weighted final exam. What do I do?
When a final exam must be weighted with one or more other
terms, the final exam should be treated in the same way as the
other terms. As an example, you might set up your terms in the
Records window as follows: Semester 1, Semester 2 and Final
Exam. Your Final Exam will actually be a separate class within
your gradebook. From within the Final Exam Class, you might
set the combine term options as follows: Semester 1 - 40%, Semester
2 - 40% and Final Exam - 20%. The overall grades will be found
in the Final Exam class. |
