H. MID-TERM/FINAL EXAM GRADING - Infinite Campus

Quarters 2 and 4 Addendum

Quarter 2 is somewhat unique in that many of our courses require Mid-Term grades or, for half year courses, Final Exam grades. Again in quarter 4, many courses require Final Exam grades. The following steps will help to clarify how to enter ANY Mid-Term and/or Final Exam/Regents grades for any course which may require them. In this example, we will enter Mid-Term grades for a physics course.

PLEASE NOTE: Entering regular Quarter grades for quarters 2 and 4 is not different than before. Please refer to previous “QUARTER GRADING” hand-out for step by step instructions.

A) – Navigating “Grading By Task”

STEP 1 – Choose your class

Using the dropdown box.

STEP 2 – Expand the “Instruction”

module by clicking on the word or the

“+” sign.

STEP 3 – Select “Grading By Task”

by clicking on the words.

STEP 4 – Use the drop down menu to select the task you wish to grade.

Note: When you drop this box down, you will notice that you have a variety of “tasks” available to select from. The tasks for your course are specific to your course and therefore may NOT be the same tasks available for other courses. For example, if your full year course culminates in a Regents Exam, you should see a task called “Q4 - Regents”. If your full year course culminates in a school final, you might find a task that will say “Q4 - Final Exam”.

You will notice that all tasks are associated with a particular quarter. This is necessary for the computer to make a FSM calculation.

This picture shows all tasks available for a full year Physics course. Remember, your tasks may vary…

We will select “Q2 - Mid-Term Exam.”

Other tasks may be chosen at various times during the year (based on which quarter we are presently grading in) and will depend on your specific course.

B) – Entering a score (same process as any numeric grading)

4

STEP 1 – Type in the score in the “Percent” field.

1

STEP 2 – Use the drop down box to enter the same score in the “Score” field.

STEP 3 – Repeat for each student.

STEP 4 – Save.

NOTE – Make sure to leave the “Comments” field blank for all students. Also, be sure to check that the score assigned in the “Percent” column matches the “Score” column as above.

FINAL NOTE – It may seem redundant to have to enter Quarter Grades separately from Mid-Terms or Finals, but the computer needs to treat them as separate tasks in order to calculate Final School Marks.
