Setting Type Sets
In InteGrade Pro, Type Sets are grade weighing schemes that allow you to set a
grade weight for different types of assignments. If you use weighted
spreadsheets, you must use the Type Sets.
1. Open your gradebook and click Setup from the menu bar. Click on Grading
Rules.
2. The Grading Rules window will appear. Click on the Type Sets tab at the
top of this window to view the Type Sets screen as shown below.
3. There are three important areas in this window. The different types of
assignments (Types) down the left column, the different weighting schemes
(Sets) across the top, and the percentage each type of assignment should
contribute to the overall grade. These are the sets that come with Integrade Pro
and will need to be deleted and replaced with yor own.
Assignment Types (Type) Weight Scheme (Set) Percentage of final grade
4. First, delete each of the Sets that are on the screen so you can replace with your
own. Click anywhere in the Humanities column and click the Delete Set button
on the right. A window will pop up asking you if you are sure you want to delete
the set. Confirm your deletion by clicking the Yes button. Repeat this process for
the Science and Elementary sets. Note: When you delete the last set
(Elementary), the set won’t disappear but the title will change to Unused. You
will rename this Unused set to your own set name for your personal weighting
scheme.
5. Click on any number in the Unused column. Click the Rename Set button on the
right side of the window. The window shown below will pop up. Enter the name
for your weighting scheme (Set) in the blank and click the Rename button.
6. Now, you need to delete the types of assignments that are not needed in Rapides
Parish. Pupil progression only allows two types of assignments –
homework/daily and major grades so we will delete all types but Homework and
Exam and rename Exam to Major Grade.
a. Click on the number next to Quiz and click the Delete Type button to the
right side of the window. Again, you will be asked to confirm deletion –
click the Yes button to delete the assignment type.
b. Repeat the above step ‘a’ for all assignment types except Homework and
Exam.
7. To rename Exam to Major Grade, click in the space to the right of Exam and
then click the Rename Type button to the right. You will see the window below.
Type Major Grade in the blank and click the Rename button. If you want to
rename Homework to Homework/Daily, repeat the same process for the
Homework assignment type.
8. Set the weights for Homework and Major grades by simply typing the percentage
that assignment type should contribute to the final grade in the blank by the type.
For example – If you want to count Homework/Daily 20% and Major Grades
80%, type 20 in the blank by Homework and 80 in the blank by Major Grades.
Make sure the two numbers add to 100.
9. That’s it! If you want to add other weighting schemes (Sets), click on the New
Set button, give the new set a name, and click the Create button. Then, simply
assign the percentages to the two assignment types.
