The Student and Assignment Charts
The student and assignment charts have a lot in common with the Records window: both display virtually the same information. While the Records window displays one record at a time, the charts can display all records together making them easier to view and manipulate. The charts also offer a variety of tools not available in the Records window such as fill down, copy, paste, find and filters.
To use the student and assignment charts:
The columns in these charts correspond to the fields in the Records window.
Data can be entered into any cell except in the first column with names. Many of the fields bring up menus when selected.
To change the order of the columns, press on a column's title and drag the column left or right to the desired location.
To change the width of a column, move the cursor until it is over the vertical line to the right of a column title. Press on the line and drag the line to the desired location.
To view the record for any row, double-click on the row.
To rename any of the twelve custom field columns in the student chart, double-click on the row and edit the Custom Labels.
As with the score chart, you can use filters, dragging of rows, find, fill down, and cut, copy and paste on rows and columns.
The last six columns of the student chart can be used to enter comment numbers. Although it is easier to enter student comments in the Summaries window, the student chart can be used to view and edit groups of comments.
FAQ: I understand how Easy Grade Pro calculates but the overall grade seems wrong. What should I do?
The very first thing to do is to choose Assignment from the Chart menu and check out the settings for your assignments. Check the Max. Score and Points columns and, if you use category weighting, check the Category column. Perhaps you have Points set to 1000 when you intended 100 or have some other unintended setting that is throwing off the calculations. If this doesn't solve the problem, check out How is a student's overall grade calculated?, FAQ: How can I check the calculations for one of my students? and FAQ: What are maximum score and points? How should I set them? .
