Scoring Assignment Items in the Gradebook

You can score and edit individual item points (for an assignment) in the Gradebook.

Note: Normally the easiest way to score student’s assignments is to scan the cards with the

AccelScan. If your students have not used AccelScan to score their own scan cards, you can scan

your students cards yourself. See “Using AccelScan from the Gradebook” on page 32.

The steps below, “Entering Scores at the Keyboard” describe how to enter student scores for

assisted response items from your computer keyboard. For information on how to edit

student scores that have been already been entered, see “Editing Scores at the Keyboard” on

page 28.

Note: If your assignment contains free response items, complete work on the assisted response items as

described below. Then you should refer to “Scoring Free Response Items” on page 30.

Entering Scores at the Keyboard

assignment you want to score. Double
