A:
The Status Options in a
gradebook event allow you to specify the weight of the event. The event
will always be set as default to "Normal."
The other options are as follows:
- Extra Credit - any scores
entered will only add to the student's total average. A student with
nothing entered will not be harmed.
- Can be Dropped -
allows a specific student's grade from this event to be dropped. Each
student is given a check box and once the box next to the score is
checked and the "Update all" button is clicked then that specific grade
will be dropped.
- Not for Grade - if the
event will not be included in the overall grade calculations. This
setting is applied to all students/grades in this event and not for
specific students/grades.
- Event Multiplier - allows
the new event to be counted double or more in the final computation of
grades in GradeBook. After choosing "Event Multiplier" you must then
enter a number in the box entitled "multiplier" (to count double, enter
2 and so on).
