Scores and Averages

• The Edit Scores row allows the user to edit any student scores for an item. An asterisk (*) may be used for any student score to cause the score to be ignored in the calculation of the student average (or it may simply be left blank). Blank values also do not affect the student average. Any text added as a score (ie. inc for incomplete) is treated as a zero for average calculation. Blank entries remain grayed to indicate that no record exists for that score (and does not affect average).

  Comments are also entered via this button.

• The MultiEdit button is used to add/edit student scores for multiple items at once. This would be useful when checking students books and marking several items at once. It is also useful if entering marks for a new student (or marking them excused with an asterisk).

• The Student Score rows (one line per student) lists their percentage score on this item. The percentage in the cell to the right of their name is the student average (as shown by the column title in previous diagrams).

• The next line, in light gray, is the test average line. It shows the average student score for each assessment item.

• The last line is the Test Weight line which shows the weighting of each item in its group. The Weight Item and Weight Grp buttons above can be used to adjust these values, either by individual item weights or by group/subgroup membership respectively.
