There are several ways to do this. One option is to use the
"Import Averages/Grades from previous term" option from the
TERM menu. We recommend the following method:
Let's say you have three term database files: term1.1st,
term2.1st and term3.1st and you would like to be able to
print a report listing each term's final average along with
an overall final average. We would also like to weight the
terms as follows:
Term 1 30%
Term 2 30%
Term 3 40%
You would set this up by doing the following.
1) Create a fourth database called final.1st using the NEW TERM
option from the TERM menu. This database will be used to
house the final averages from each term. You may also want
to bring in / input the final exam grades directly into
this database if you would like the final exam grades to
be displayed on the final grade reports.
2) From the TERM menu choose the IMPORT AVERAGES FROM PREVIOUS
TERM option. Now choose the term 1 database. Repeat this
step for each class (because the import averages option only
brings in averages one class at a time).
3) Now repeat step 2 for term 2 and term 3.
4) Now go to the CLASS screen. When you were importing you
probably named the categories (activity types) as
TERM 1 AVG, TERM 2 AVG, TERM 3 AVG. Set the activity type
weighting (category weighting) to 30, 30, and 40 respectively.
This will weight the terms 30%, 30% and 40% as required by
our example.
5) Now print your reports. |
