Multigrade

Choose columns: move the mouse over the top-right corner of the header column (at which point a down arrow appears), and click once, a menu should appear. This menu should display the top level groupings of columns (Student Information and Grades are constant, the others will have the Category name that you provide when you create categories). Move the mouse over any of these menu items and a sub-menu will appear with checkboxes. Checking a checkbox will cause the column to appear. Unchecking will cause the column to be hidden. Category grouping sub-menus include "Show All" and "Hide All" options to check or uncheck all the underlying items in a single click.

Multigrade

Grade student with points or percentage grades: place the mouse over a grade item cell in the spreadsheet. Click once and the cell should be outlined in blue. Type a number. Hit ENTER, TAB, or click elsewhere with the mouse to submit that grade. When your gradebook is in "Points" mode, if you try to enter a value greater than the maximum allowed points for that assignment you should get an error at the top of the spreadsheet. To toggle between "Points" and "Percentage" mode, click on the "Setup" menu item in the top toolbar and navigate to the "Gradebook" tab. There is a radio box form element in this panel that toggles between the two "grade types".

Multigrade

Search by name: click on the textbox labeled "Student name". Enter the name of a student in the class. Hit ENTER or click "Find". The spreadsheet should refresh and show only students whose names match the search value entered. Click "Clear" to go back to the full set of students.

Multigrade

Filter by section: (currently broken) select a section from the dropdown box labeled "Section". To view all students, select "All Viewable Sections".

Multigrade

Permissions: sections available (currently broken) log in as a TA with access to one or more sections. You should only see the students visible to you. You should be able to choose between any visible sections in the section dropdown.

Multigrade

Move to next page: (currently _slightly_ broken) click on the blue arrow on the top-right-hand corner of the lower toolbar, assuming it is blue. If it is gray then you only have one page of students currently visible. The bug here is when you get to the last page of students it will fill out the list to allow for a full page of students. Desired behavior would be to only display the students that were not visible on the previous page. Note that the "Display x - y of z" text in the toolbar is correct. This bug should be fairly easy to fix.

1

Student View

In Grade-by-student, click on "View as Student" button at the bottom right-hand corner of the screen. The list of grade items should NOT be editable and should only include those grade items that have been "Released". To release an grade item navigate to the "Setup" screen and choose the tab labeled "Assignments" (sorry Nancy--will be fixed) -- toggle the Released value by clicking on the appropriate checkbox.

This should automatically update the values on both the Multigrade and Grade-by-student screens (note that there is currently a bug when a Grade-by-student screen is brought up directly under the Setup screen - in this case it is necessary to close that window and re-open in order to get the correct cells to appear).

1

Setup: Categories

Make the assignments under this category have equal weight: click on the appropriate checkbox under "Equal Asgnmts". Note that, if this is initially unchecked and the weights are not equal, checking it will rebalance those weights on the Setup: Assignments screen.
