• Weight final gradeGrade Weight
• Weight custom gradesAssessment Weight
• Useful but not yet usedDate/Quarter
[Just some of] What you get:
% Mastery | Weighted Total Grade | Unit Mastery | Custom Grade
More of what you get:• Drag and drop PivotTables and PivotCharts• Quick Filtering• Easy to read Histograms

Keep It Simple
Customizable• Easy to change
Save often• Back up data
Got stuck?Just enter final grade for a test Just put grade column!
Just want to enter mastery Just put mastery column!
This data is just for reference Label it an assess column
Make only most recent learning goal count towards mastery
Label previous mastery columns assess
Get test grade from multiple learning goals
Average the test scores using vlookup from all the relevant columns
Get only first quarter grades Modify total grade formula
What about test retakes? Make assess columns for initial test, then make your mastery column find the max score.
Group/ average test, classwork, or project grades
Mark the “assignment” test, classwork, etc. for each test grade.
Track a particular learning goal progress over time
Use pivottable or just use view-> ‘split’
See just female students Filter using dropdown box
Get average test score fast! Use bottom row of table, choose summary statistic
Help! See other staff, Google it, or email: [email protected]
Got more stuck?Enter extra credit So add points. You might add comment to cell
Make mastery by assignment Change formula. Currently mastery is only for total and by unit
Make grade count less So weight it less.
Make mastery count less Will need to add another weight row. Currently all mastery columns are the same ‘weight’
Curve the grade Write formula: consider normal, average, standard dev
Change the grade table It is only the last sheet of the workbook, called grading
Based grade upon multiple retakes
Either just write grades out or just match formulas (see workshop workbook
Pivottable isn’t right 1.) hit REFRESH – does not automatically update2.) change field settings. Should it be average or count
Add more demographics Simply insert more columns in pivottable fields
I don’t want to see total grade Hide the column
Weird red squares appear Enter a weight for grades. A weight of zero is fine
Add students Insert more columns above the last row, then fill in student names
