Grading Period

Grading Periods are used to sort Grade Center Columns into sections based on due date. These sections help manage the Grade Center by associating Grade Columns together so that viewing and reporting can be done based on a Grading Period instead of the entire Grade Center.

Grading Periods can be used to:

• View the performance of students in a certain Grading Period.
• Create a Report that displays performance for that Grading Period. This can be used to generate a printable mid-term performance report.
• Create a grade calculation, such as a Weighted Grade or Total Points Grade. It can also calculate an average grade for all columns and create an Average Grade Column. Columns associated with the Grading Period are automatically included in the average calculation.
  

Warning: Grade Center Columns cannot be associated with more than one Grading Period. A newly created Grading Period with the same or an overlapping date range will override the settings of an existing Grading Period. All items associated with the existing Grading Period will become associated with the new one.
