LP4 – Using ANGEL’s Gradebook Wizard
The Gradebook is located in the Manage Tab. If you have not used the Gradebook yet, the
Gradebook Wizard will show up automatically.
* To start from scratch and get back to the Gradebook Wizard at any time, go to your Gradebook
Categories and delete all categories by checking the box next to each category and clicking the Delete
Selected button. If you go back to the Gradebook Main Menu, the Wizard should now appear.
Points-Based vs. Percentage-Based
The first decision you will have to make when setting up your gradebook with the Wizard is
whether you want to use a points-based or percentage-based system. The main difference
between the two when using the ANGEL gradebook is that with points-based, formulas are
available at the assignment level only. With percentage-based grading, category weighting and
formulas are available.
Gradebook Setup – Step 1
Participation
3
1. Choose a Gradebook Mode - Points or Percentage (see Points-Based vs. PercentageBased section below)
2. Then fill in the titles of your Categories
3. If using percentage grading, you will also fill in the weights for each Category here. If
you are using points, a Weight column will not appear.
4. Then give each Category a Calculation Type. You can choose whether you want
ANGEL to use all assignment grades in that category, or you can have ANGEL drop
the lowest grade or keep the highest specified amount of grades.
5. Click Next
Gradebook Setup – Step 2a
1. From this screen, you will see a list of all content items you’ve created in your
Lessons tab. Select all content items that you want to create assignments for in the
gradebook by checking the box next to the item, or you can check Select All to select
all assignments.
2. Click Next.
4
Gradebook Setup – Step 2b
Choose a category for each of your assignments, give each assignment a point value, and choose
the Calculation Type for that assignment as illustrated above.
Calculation Type Options:
Manual – You must manually enter the grade for this assignment in the gradebook.
Average Score – ANGEL will input the average score (if assignment has multiple submissions).
Maximun Score – ANGEL will input the maximum score received (if assignment has multiple
submissions.
First Submission – ANGEL will use the first score submitted.
Last Submission – ANGEL will use the last score submitted either by you or the student.
NOTE: This is always a good option to choose in most situations. Even if you have only allowed
one attempt or submission from the student, if you go in and change the grade from the content
item, the gradebook will not accept that changed grade as the last submission unless Last
Submission is chosen as the calculation type.
5
Gradebook Setup – Step 3
This is where you enter your grading scale. Fill in each field and click Next.
You are now finished setting up your gradebook using the Gradebook Wizard! You will now be
brought to the Gradebook’s Main Menu.

LP4 - Managing the ANGEL Gradebook
The Gradebook is located in the Manage Tab. If you have not used the Gradebook yet, the
Gradebook Wizard will show up. To skip the Wizard, select the Skip Wizard button at the
bottom right of the Wizard page.
* To start from scratch and get back to the Gradebook Wizard at any time, go to your Gradebook
Categories and delete all categories by checking the box next to each category and clicking the Delete
Selected button. If you go back to the Gradebook Main Menu, the Wizard should now appear.
* For more information on creating a Points-Based or Percentage-based Gradebook using the
Gradebook Wizard, there are videos available to you by simply clicking the Overview link on the
Gradebook Main Menu page.
*
1. View All Grades - this will display a list of students, student’s grades, and your
Gradebook assignments
2. View Grades by Category/User - The All Categories and All Users drop-down lists
allows you to filter the Gradebook grades by category and/or by users. To filter the view
to a particular user, select the Find Student… option from the All Users drop-down menu,
type any portion of the user’s first name, last name, or username in the textbox, and click
the Search button. Click the Select hyperlink next to the user you wish to view and click
the Go button.
To filter the view of Gradebook grades by category and/or users, select the appropriate
category and/or team from the All Categories and All Users drop-down menus and click
the Go button. The View Grades page displays a list of students and Gradebook
assignments based on the category and users selections.

3. Print Grades - The Print Grades hyperlink creates a printer-friendly PDF view of the
Gradebook.
For best results,
change your
printer preferences

assignment or user.
8
5. Preferences – allows you to modify your Gradebook preference settings.
a. Default Display Format - Select a different value from the Default Display Format
drop down menu to change how grades should be displayed in the Gradebook and
student’s grade report.
b. Treat Ungraded Items as Zero - Select the Treat Ungraded Items as Zero checkbox to
display a score of zero for all assignments that do not have a grade specified.
NOTE: The Treat Ungraded Items as Zero option can be useful when determining
mid-term or final grades if the Gradebook includes assignments that do not have a
grade specified (i.e. students did not complete or turn-in the assignments).
c. Limit Course Assistants by Team - Select the Limit Course Assistants by Team
checkbox to limit course assistant rights so they can only view and enter grades for
students who are affiliated with the same team(s) as the course assistant.
d. Gradebook Mode - Select Points or Percentage from the Gradebook drop-down list.
This general preference determines how the Gradebook displays the grade values.
e. Display Overall Average - Optionally clear the Display Overall Average checkbox if
you do not want to display the overall, calculated grade on the student’s grade report
and on the View Grades by User page. Overall Average is always displayed in the
View All Grades grid view regardless of whether the Display Overall Average
checkbox is selected or not.
f. Overall Display Format - Select a different value from the Overall Display Format
drop down menu to change how the overall grade should be displayed in the
Gradebook and student’s grade report.
9
6. Categories - The Categories page allows the course editor to add new Gradebook
categories, to edit settings for one or more categories, and to delete categories.
Categories are an important Gradebook concept.
NOTE: The primary purpose of categories is to group assignments based on their impact
on the overall grade. For example, a few of the most common calculation approaches
include: Grade By Percent: Each category is worth a specific percentage of the overall
grade. For example, a category called Homework is worth 50% of the overall grade,
Quizzes is worth 25%, and Exams is worth 25%. In this case, simply use the appropriate
percent value (50, 25, and 25) as the weight for each category.
a. Add New Category - click the Add New button. The page updates to display the
Category Editor at the bottom of the page.
b. Edit Existing Category – Edit existing categories may be done by clicking the Edit
Selected button. The page updates to display the Category Editor at the bottom of the
page. Make your changes and click the Save button.
c. Delete Existing Category - Existing categories may be deleted by selecting one or
more categories and clicking the Delete Selected buttons. A pop-up appears asking if
you want to delete selected categories. Click OK to remove the selection from the
Categories page.
d. Modify Multiple Categories - The course editor can optionally modify multiple
categories from a single editor by selecting the checkbox next to each category and
10
clicking the Edit Selected button. The page updates to display the Category Editor at
the bottom of the page. Make your changes and click the Save button.
e. Category Editor – The Category Editor will appear when you click on Add New or
Edit Selected.
i. Title – is used to identify the category.
ii. Description – is used to describe the category.
iii. Calculation – determines whether the category average should be based on
the grade of all category assignments (Use all assignments) or a subset
using the highest scored assignments (Use highest or Drop lowest).
iv. Weight – allows you to enter weight for the category.
v. Release Date – specifies the release date and time for the category.
vi. Formula – specifies an advanced calculation for the category average.
vii. Average Format – specifies which format you want your average to be
displayed.
viii. Extra Credit - configures the category to be calculated as extra credit.
11
7. Assignments - are items/files that are associated with the Gradebook.
a. Assignment Editor – The Assignment Editor will appear when you click on Add New
or Edit Selected. Similar to Categories in respect to Add, Show Tasks, Edit Selected,
and Delete Selected, the Assignment Editor is important to set up.
12
ix. Title – is used to identify the assignment.
x. Description – is used to describe the assignment.
xi. Category – is used to associate the type of category with the Assignment.
xii. Points – allows you to enter a value for the assignment.
xiii. Display Format – allows you to use a different display format for the
assignment grade than the Gradebook default (specified in Gradebook
Preferences).
xiv. Calculation Type – is intended to be used in combination with the
Associated Content Items option. If the Gradebook assignment has one or
more associated content items, then the Calculation Type option should be
used to determine which content item grade should be used to update the
Gradebook assignment. Since many content items can be graded multiple
times, and multiple content items can be associated with the same
Gradebook assignment, you have four options for obtaining a grade:
Average Score, Maximum Score, First Submission, Last Submission, and
Manual. Average Score uses an average of all scores submitted.
Maximum Score uses the highest of all scores submitted. First Submission
uses the first score submitted. Last Submission uses the last (most recent)
score submitted. The calculation type of Manual requires the instructor to
enter a score manually.
xv. Extra Credit – configures the assignment to be calculated as extra credit.
xvi. Associated Content Items - See Calculation Type
8. Grading Scale - allows the course editor to specify a grading scale that is used to display
letter grades in addition to the percentages or scores for assignments, category averages,
and overall grades.
