Figure 6.41: Gradebook
The Gradebook is central to the class management capacities of the ALEKS Instructor Module. There are currently six types of data that can be used by the Gradebook: Quizzes, Tests, Homework, Scheduled Assessments, Objectives (Chapter Completion), and External Assignments. These are what we call "assignments" in discussing the Gradebook features. When configuring the Gradebook for a class, the instructor can choose any selection of these types of data (or none, if the Gradebook is not being used). Also, it is possible to use these kinds of assignments and not include them in the Gradebook configuration; for example, the instructor may choose to set up a series of Homework assignments for the class to prepare students for Quizzes or Tests, but not make the Homework assignments part of the grade.
NOTE. The full benefit of the ALEKS Gradebook will be obtained if the configuration is thought out carefully before the beginning of the class, and then left unchanged while the class is in progress. In particular, if the students have begun to complete assignments, and grades for the assigments appear in the Gradebook, changes to the configuration may be confusing to students who check their Gradebook data.
