Percent Entry
The Percent Grade Entry allows the user to type percentage grades. Pressing ENTER tells the computer that entry is done and the cursor automatically moves to the next student. The computer does not understand a grade greater than 100% and will convert higher percentages to 100%, accompanied with a beep. If an error is made, the cursor can be moved up or down the list using arrow keys or the mouse.
When entering grades, other symbols can be entered which may be helpful in identifying missing assignments.
I= INC (Incomplete)
A= ABS (Absent)
N= N/A (Not applicable)
B= Blank
CTRL+any action that moves the cursor to a new cell toggles a Late and an "L" appears in the cell with the grade. If the grade was already marked Late, the "L" disappears and the grade is no longer late.
