This is where graded items can be placed into categories, curved and set
as extra credit items. New categories can also be added and existing ones deleted.
<ul>
<li>Category: Adjusts which category a graded item belongs to. Just select the appropriate
category from the drop down list. Items that have not been assigned a category or were in
a category that was deleted will be automatically placed in "Uncategorized"
</li>
<li>Curve To: Allows you to curve grades. Set this item to what you would like the
particular graded item graded out of. So if the max grade was 30 and curve to was
set at 28 students grades and percents would be calculated against a possible 28 points
rather than 30.</li>
<li>Extra Credit: Check this box if you would like a particular category to be calculated
as extra credit. Please note that setting all items to extra credit for a particular category
will have unexpected results, and will most likely not count the category or extra credit at all.</li>
</ul>

This can be used to exclude students from individual assignments. This is useful if two class
sections merge or a student transfers from a different section several weeks into a semester.
It is also useful for extenuating circumstances: sickness, injury, etc.
<br />
There are three columns:
<ul>
<li>Left: Is students for the course that are "Included in Grading" for an particular graded
item.</li>
<li>Middle: A listing of all graded items followed by a total number of students excluded
from grading in parenthesis.</li>
<li>Right: A list of students that are excluded from a particular assignment</li>
<ul>
To exclude students click the assignment in the middle and then click the students name in the left
column (holding down CTRL or APPLE will allow selection of multiple items). Then click
"Exclude from Grading" at the bottom. The student(s) should be moved from the left column to the right,
and they will now be excluded from grade calculations for that assignment.
To include students that have been excluded; Choose the appropriate assignment, click
the student in the right column and finally "Include in Grading" at the bottom. The student should
be moved from the right column to the left column.

You can set your grade letter scale here. Initially a "suggested" scale is presented and all that needs
to be done to use this scale is to click "Save Changes". If however you do not like this scale, just change
any entries you want and then click "Save Changes". After this initial setting you will see your
current selected scale. Leave an entry blank to not include it or delete it from the grade scale.
<br />
Errors you may see in the gradebook:
<ul>
<li>No Grades Set: This means that the initial grade scale has not been set. All you need to do
(if you like the suggested scale) is to click "save changes"</li>
<li>No Grade Letter For X: Indicates that there is no appropriate grade letter for X.</li>
</ul>

The first time you visit the gradebook it will be in normal or simple mode.
You will see all students, their grades for each graded item, and a total for each student.
<ul>
<li>You can sort by student last name or first name by clicking the respective links
under the student column on either the left or right side. The gradebook initially sorts
by lastname.
</li>
<li>The student names are links that will display just that student and their grades. This is
useful when a student is looking at the gradebook with you and you need to protect the privacy of
other student grades.
<li>The button at the top will create an excel spreadsheet for the course grades which you can download to
your local machine.
</li>
<li>The main heading will display 'Grades' if you are using the normal mode (default). Otherwise it will
show the category name which you are currently viewing if you have turned advanced settings on.
</li>
<li>In the middle you will see all graded items for a course (or just a particular category in advanced mode).
The names for each graded item are links that take you to the settings for that particular item.
</li>
<li>A total column will be located to the right of all assignments (or categories in advanced mode). There are two arrows
to the right of the Total heading that sort student totals in descending and ascending order respectively.
</li>
<li>To the right of the total heading (or for each individual category in advanced mode) is a 'stats' link
that will display a popup of statistics based on total for the class.
</li>
</ul>
How to adjust specific gradebook settings. The link that you need to click to adjust a setting will be in double quotes. More
information and help will be available on each respective screen.

This is where you can set the grade weights for a category as well as dropping the lowest X assignments
from grade calculation, adding bonus points to a category, hiding a category from grade display and calculation.
<ul>
<li>Weight: This allows you to weight grades by category. The weight is the percent that a category will
contribute to a grades total. A total will be listed at the bottom in green text if the total weights for
all categories totals 100 and red otherwise. </li>
<li>Drop X Lowest: This is used drop the X number of lowest scores from a students grade calculation.
The point totals for a category should be all the same value or unpredictable results may occur.</li>
<li>Bonus Points: Is used to give extra points that do not change the point total for a category. This
can be used to adjust for unfair questions or similiar. These will be applied equally to all students. If
you wish to selectively provide extra credit; add a new graded item and set it to extra credit in "Set Categories".</li>
<li>Hidden: if this box is checked it will remove a category from display and also from grade calculation. This an
easy way to only add items to the gradebook after they have been graded. Since graded items that have not been
categorized will automatically be assigned to "Uncategorized" you can set the "Uncategorized" category to hidden
and then as you grade items move them to whichever category you like and students can then see their grade.</li>
</ul>
