HOW TO USE CALCULATED GRADE ITEM TO DETERMINE MIDTERM GRADE

For faculty keeping all grades in Brightspace’s Gradebook, creating a calculated grade for midterm (or other “milestone”) grades is helpful, too. A calculated grade item would figure out the midterm grade for you. “Milestone” refers to certain points in the course.

1. Go to Manage Grades–>New–>Grade Item

2. Select Calculated

3. Enter grade item information (Name, Short Name (optional), Description (optional)). Examples: Calculated Midterm Grade, Midterm Grade, calculated grade based on learning activities due by midterm.

4. Under Calculation, check-off the grade book items to be included in the midterm grade calculation

5. Click Save and Close at the bottom.

6. Now go back to Enter Grades and find the column to verify. Any grades already entered will show up with the total points. Example: 120/150.

Note You may wish to reorder your Grade Items. In Manage Grades, click on the More Actions button and select Reorder.

Note These are instructions for using the Brightspace gradebook. If you are looking for help on how to officially post course Midterm or Final grades in CS9 / my.ccc.edu, please contact your college registrar.

Give your students easy, 24 x 7 access to their midterm (and final) letter grade, even if you do not record every assignment throughout the term.

These instructions are for creating a grade book item to enter a letter grade directly into brightspace (A, B, C, D, F). This column is not worth any points, nor does it calculate points, its simply a place for you to enter text.
