The Class Analysis Tool 111
7: % Score column converts each students’ raw score into a
percentage grade.
8: Exclude check boxes enable you to manually exclude a student’s
grades from all calculations. This does not erase the student’s file.
Note that in the example, the third student has been excluded by
the teacher. Students who do not turn in documents are always
excluded.
Things to remember:
• Students are listed alphabetically by ascending last name.
• If you want to share the results with the class by using an overhead
projector, you can hide the student names by clicking View > Class
Summary > Students
.
• When you manually exclude a student or an item from the
assessment, the software automatically italicizes that student row or
item column. No student or value is actually deleted; instead, the
excluded values are not used in any calculations.
• When a file is requested of a student but none is received, that
student’s row has a red background and the student’s grades are
automatically excluded from class and item averages calculations.
• If you close Class Analysis before all files are collected from students,
the collect action completes, but the analysis is cancelled unless it
was saved to Portfolio.
• You cannot edit any student’s answers, but you can edit their scores
for each item.
• You can give partial credit or extra credit for responses.
• If a file is collected from a student but the student does not answer
one or more questions, then the response cell shows a grade of 0.
• The background color for a selected student may vary from the color
shown in the example. The color you see is based upon your
computer preferences.
• Any edits made in this view are carried over to all views, in real time.
• You can hide columns of data from the display. When Class Analysis
initially opens, all columns are shown. To hide a column, right click
on the header of any column and select the colums you want to
show or hide by selecting them on the menu. A check mark next to a
column name indicates it will be shown. A blank next to a column
name indicates it will be hidden. You can choose to hide: students,
item columns, score, and % score. You can also hide selected items
from the View menu.
