12. A Few Gradekeeper FAQs (www.gradekeeper.com) How can I avoid retyping the same assignment in each section of a class?  You can right click (or control click for Mac OS X) in the assignment header for any column to show a list of recent assignments. Choose one of those assignments to fill in that assignment's date, name, category, and points possible. Can I enter a letter grade for a score on an assignment?  You can enter letter grades for scores for any assignment. The letter grade you enter will immediately be converted to a numeric score. The percent for the letter grade you entered is averaged with the percent for the next higher letter grade. That percent is multiplied by the points possible on the assignment to determine the score. Can I drop more than one worst score?  Gradekeeper does allow you to drop up to 4 worst scores from each category (up to a total of 12). The worst scores will be those that, when dropped, most improve a student's grade within that category. The worst scores are not always the lowest scores.
