Points Gradebook
Final Grades for Fall 2009
Notice: All final grades must be input into the Final Grades column (with a letter grade) by Sunday evening December 20, 2009, by 11:59 PM (CDT). Any student grades which are not entered by the deadline time and date above will have to turned in manually through an RODP Grade Change form.
1. Go to the Grades tool and Click on Manage Grades:
2. First, you must make sure that the Final Grade column does not effect the total value of the points in your gradebook. Unfortunately when the Final Grade column was created it was done so with a value. So we must first reduce the value so that it doesn't influence your grades. We can't currently make the value zero, but we can lower the column value to .01 of one percent so that it has virtually no effect on the gradebook.
Scroll to the bottom of the page of the Gradebook.
The Final Grade row should look like this:
*Note that there are two rows with the title "Final Grade". The upper row is shaded gray, the lower row is white with no shading.
The upper row with shading will NOT have a number.
The lower row without shading will have a number, as indicated by the red arrow.. This number will have to be changed to ".01
3. Click on the Final Grade title(in the unshaded row) , underlined in blue
4. Scroll to the "Grading" section of the page.
- Change the *Max. Points to: .01
- Make sure the Grade Scheme is: RODP Submitted Grade
5. Scroll further down the page to the Display Options section of the page. Make sure the two check boxes shown below are checked.
6. Click Save
7. Click on Grades Settings

9. Change the following Settings:
