Gradebook: assignments & scores

Everything a student earns in a subject lives here. You create assignments, enter scores, and at term-end those grades roll up into the report card.

§ 01Pick a subject

Open Gradebook. You see a card for each subject across the classes you teach. Open one to see its assignments for the current term (use the term selector to change term).

The Gradebook subject picker with one card per class-and-subject, each showing an assignment count and academic year.

§ 02Create an assignment

  1. On the subject's assignment list, press + New assignment.
  2. Enter a Title, choose a Category — CA or Exam — and a Max score.
  3. Optionally set a Term and Due date, and tag curriculum indicators.
  4. Press Create & start grading — you land straight on the score grid.
The New assignment form: Title, a Category radio (CA / Exam), Max score, optional term and due date, and a Create & start grading button.
Fig.Title, category, max score — the three things every assignment needs.

§ 03Enter scores

The grade grid lists every enrolled student. Type each score (out of the max), and save. The assignment list shows a graded / roster count so you can see what's still outstanding — the same figure drives the portal's Grade now prompts.

The score-entry grid for an assignment, listing each enrolled student with an input for their score.

§ 04CA vs Exam

Every assignment is either Continuous Assessment (CA) or Exam. Your school sets how the two are weighted into the term grade (for example 30% CA / 70% Exam). You just tag each assignment correctly; the weighting is applied automatically on the report card.

§ 05Term & report cards

Scores accumulate through the term. At term-end you finish grades and conduct, and the admin publishes the term — which locks grades and opens the report cards. That end-of-term flow is its own tutorial.
