Overview
Goal
Create two or more separate Gradebooks. A cumulative grade is not required.
For example, I teach a year long class but I need a gradebook for each semester.
Create Your Gradebooks
In this scenario you will need to create 2 Gradebooks - One for each semester. The image below illustrates how these Gradebooks should be created.
Step-By-Step Guide
- From the Gradebooks menu on the navigation bar of your Portal homepage, choose Add/Edit Gradebook for one of your courses.
- Click the Edit link next the name of the default year long Gradebook.
- Add "Semester 1" to the name of the Gradebook and the term label.
- Set the end date to be the last day of Semester 1.
- Click Submit.
- Back on the Add/Edit page, click the Add New Gradebook button.
- Add "Semester 2" to the name of the Gradebook and the term label.
- Set the Start and End dates to correspond to the first and last day of Semester 2.
- Click Submit.
Helpful Hints:
- We recommend that you run your Gradebooks back-to-back without any days between Gradebooks. For example, if the 2nd Semester starts on January 12, you should end the previous gradebook on January 11.
- Be sure to give each Gradebook an appropriate name and be careful that the start and end dates are accurate for each term.
- If you have already published grades in a Gradebook, remember to republish after editing the date range.
