Hello, my name is CJ De Leon with Academic Technology and Creative Services.
Today we will be talking about “How to Create a Grade Center Column.”
The “Grade Center” is a place for instructors to add or create grades for assignments and/or tests.
We will learn how to navigate to your “Grade Center”, create a new grade column and add a score to the column by the end of this tutorial.
In your SacCT course, locate the “Control Panel Menu”.
Scroll down until you see “Course Management” on the bottom left hand side.
Click on the “Grade Center” section to expand and view options. Then click on the “Full Grade Center” link.
The “Full Grade Center” will display all available grade center columns. By default, your grade center will contain a
“Weighted Total” and “Total” column. You will also be able to see the students who are enrolled in the current course.
Now let us add a new column. On the top left, click the “Create Column” button.
In the “Column Information” section, give your column a name, such as “Assignment #1”.
Select one of the many options for the “Primary Display”. The most common ones are “Score”, “Letter”, and “Percentage.”
For example, if your column will need to display a point value, select the option "Score".
You can select an option for “Category” but it is not required.
Fill in how many “Points Possible” there are for this assignment or test, such as 20 points.
In the “Dates” Section, you can select a “Grading Period” if possible and you can also set a “Due Date”, such as December 17 at 5PM.
In the “Options” section, we recommend that you leave the default options selected. However, you can change them if you would like.
For example, you can select to hide this column from student's view until you are ready to display it.
Once you have filled out the information. Click on the “Submit” button in the bottom right hand corner.
Your new grade center column will display on the far right hand side of the grade center. As shown here.
When you are ready to enter grades into the column, click on the cell and type in the number of points, then click off the cell.
Then click the button "OK" in the pop-up box to save your changes.
Let’s recap. First navigate to your "Grade Center." Then click "Create Column." Fill in the required information.
Click the "Submit" button when you are done. To enter a grade, click on the cell to add a score or grade. Lastly save the changes.
