Enter grades in the gradebook grid

A screen recording of Pearspark doing exactly this in a sample school, and the same 8 steps written out below in the labels you'll see on screen.

How to enter grades in the gradebook grid

  1. 1Click Classes under Learning in the sidebar, open your class, then click Gradebook
  2. 2The grid shows one grading period — to reach work from another, pick it in the period menu above the grid or click "Show the whole year"
  3. 3Click any student's cell in the grid and type the score — it autosaves per cell, with no Save button
  4. 4Press Enter or the arrow keys to move to the next cell
  5. 5Type e in a cell to mark the student excused (EX, left out of the average); leave blank for ungraded
  6. 6Click Undo last change under the grid to put back the cell you just changed
  7. 7Click Fill empty under an assignment's column header to give one score to every student without one (it never overwrites)
  8. 8Click Summary to switch to per-student overall, category, missing, and trend columns

Part of Gradebook, report cards & transcripts
