A GUIDE TO WHAT GOES ON
IN THESE RECORD CARDS
First, let's look at the lefthand half of the record card.
At the top is the name of the gradebook, which is the same as the name of this Stack. To change that, rename the Stack.
Below the gradebook name is the number of this card. And below that are boxes for you to type in the name and SS# of the student. The "code" box is for individual student identifiers, to preserve anonymity when posting grades in public places. The "default" button sets the code to the last 4 digits of the SS#.
You do not need to fill in the boxes for Term Grade and Term Score; the Gradebook will do that for you.
The scrolling window "Remarks" is for you to insert any comments, remarks, or student information you like. The "Show Remarks" button is a toggle for hiding and displaying the Remarks field. Use it to keep your remarks private if you wish to print out records and give them to students.
The "Notes" button takes you to a card with a blank scrolling window, where you can record miscellaneous notes.
The "Absences" box gives you a place to record the number of absences.
At the bottom are several buttons that will move you to various "management" parts of the Gradebook stack.
"Mngr" takes you to the Gradebook Manager, which contains facilities for initializing a new Gradebook, and also for such housekeeping matters as recomputing all grades, trimming excess record cards from the end of the gradebook, and so on.
"Options" takes you to the Setup Options card, which lets you choose the mode of grade computation, the number of low assignments to be dropped, and the weight of each assignment category.
"Prefs" takes you to the Preferences card, which lets you enter point maxima and
"breakpoints" for assigning letter grades.
"Rows & Columns" takes you to a special card with a window that can display the Gradebook's data in Row & Column format. More about that later.
"find" is for finding a particular student record, by name, SS#, or code.
"Averages" takes you to a card that computes class averages for the various categories.
"Distribs" takes you to a card that computes class grade distributions for the various categories.
"Directory" takes you to a card that displays a directory of students in the class, by name and SS#.
The "Help!" button opens this window that you are now reading. The arrows at bottom center move you back and forth through the record cards.
The double arrows are "glide" buttons that move you through the record cards as long as they are held down.
And that's it for the lefthand side of the Gradebook card.

NOW LET'S LOOK AT THE
RIGHTHAND SIDE OF THE
GRADEBOOK RECORD CARD.
In the main window there are places for entering scores and grades for the four different categories of assignment.
If "Score -> Grade" is selected in the Options card, you enter scores and the computer turns them into grades.
If "Grade -> Score" is selected in the Options card, you enter letter grades and the computer turns them into numerical equivalents.
After making an entry, click on the category header ("Minor Assignments",
"Exams", etc.) to compute the scores/grades and averages for this card. Note that the category header for Term Grade is next to the student's name on the lefthand side of the card.
Alternatively, you can enter scores/grades for all cards, and then compute everything at once with the buttons in the Gradebook Manager.
If you have indicated in your Options that lowest scores are to be dropped, the dropped scores will be flagged with a
"minus" sign to the right of the grade box.
A click on the "Average" box at the bottom of a category allows you to quickly clear the column of boxes above.
A click on "graph" near the bottom of the Minor Assignment columns will create a bar graph of the minor assignment scores--useful for a quick visual representation of improvement or lack thereof. A second click on "graph" deletes the graph. Note: for purposes of the graph, all NEGATIVE scores are treated as -1. This does not affect the Averages or any other functions of the gradebook. Holding down the Shift or Command keys while clicking will change the appearance of the graph.
The "Withdrew" box allows you to flag the record of a student who has withdrawn, in case you do not just want to delete the record.
To the far right, outside the main card window, is a vertical row of buttons, with the following functions:
"Nu" Creates a new card and inserts it immediately after the current one.
"Pr" prints the current card.
"D!" deletes the current card along with all of its data.
"C" clears all data from the current card, but doesn't delete it from the stack.
The dogeared-page icon takes you to the Report Preferences page, where you can put the Gradebook's data into a tabbed text file on disk that can be imported into various databases, or read & edited with any text editor.
The row & column page icon takes you to the Report Preferences page, where you can put the Gradebook's data into row & column format in the main window of the
"Row & Column" card.
The Return arrow takes you back to the cover card of the Gradebook stack.
