2. How to enter grades “Gradespeed” style
Click on the + sign at top right and select “Basic Assignment”

3. 2) You can also click the gear and set ‘basic assignment’ as default.

4. 3) Name the assignment. Use the drop downs to select the gradebook category.

5. 4) I unclick “submit student online work” because I don’t have computers and don’t know how to use it. I suspect this links to those of you who do online assignments.

6. 5) I select the due date and make A and B day separate assignments
5) I select the due date and make A and B day separate assignments. If you don’t, it can confuse parents. They see all of this on their end.

7. 6) Click the pencil to select multiple sections
6) Click the pencil to select multiple sections. I suggest creating separate A and B day assignments so you can have accurate due dates.

8. 6) I don’t change any of this. You may want to play with it.

9. 7) I do click ‘add weighting’ so you can make some assignments worth less. For example, ‘signed syllabus’ should not weigh much because it doesn’t reflect content mastery. You may disagree. This is fine.

10. 8) If you select ‘save and duplicate,’ you can easily make a copy and change the dates for distinguishing between A and B day.

11. 9) Once you have saved your assignment(s), you can go to “Grading > Scoresheet” and the rest is pretty intuitive.
HOPE THIS HELPS and don’t hesitate to ask me for help. I’ll do my best!
