Gradebook-5
• Turned In – A green flag displays in the upper left corner
• Late - any work that is flagged as Late will appear with a red score.
There is no formula for late work, the Late flag is simply an indication
the assignment was late. Any deductions or “docking” should be done
on the score and entered as such.
• Exempt -an exempt assignment will be grayed out and will not count
for that student.
• Missing - missing assignments count as zero points earned. A canned
report finds missing assignments in the Portal and in the Instruction
Reports.
• Incomplete- assignments do not harm (nor help) the student’s grades.
• Cheated - an assignment flagged as cheated will count as a zero.
“Cheated” will appear on the portal.
• Dropped - the dropped flag is automatically marked if “drop lowest
score” was set on the group in Lesson Planner. As scores are entered,
Campus will analyze each student’s scores and flag the score with the
lowest overall percentage, thus removing it from the grade calculation.
