Final Grades for Summer 2010

 

Notice: All final grades must be input into the Final Grades column (with a letter grade) by Sunday evening August 15, 2010 by 11:59 PM Central Time. 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.

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 Letter Grade will have a value as indicated by the red arrows. The value will need to be changed to '0'
