Task Marks Screen

This screen is used to enter the marks for individual tasks to allow the composite mark for the subject to be calculated.

Task marks cannot be entered if the class has been published. If this is the case, a warning message will appear in red at the top of the screen to advise the user that the class has been published. Refer to Publish Marks for more information.

Depending on a student's enrolment status, the row information may be highlighted in a different colour from the background. Refer to the Student Status Colour Legend for more information. Note: Task marks can be entered for students who have a status of Withdrawn or Removed. Click Show Wthd.

Entering Marks for Tasks

To enter individual student marks for a given task, click the Edit button at the top of the desired task column in the main table of the Task Marks screen. This will display a new mark entry screen as shown below:

Complete the Mark/100 field for each student. The Comments to Students column is optional and students will only be able to view the comments if you chose to display the marks on the web. Remember to save regularly (click Save) when entering marks for large classes.

Note: the class list can be sorted by Std Nbr, Family Name, Sort, Groups or Mark. Sort the list by clicking on the chosen column heading link.

Saving the marks and returning to main Task Marks screen

Remember to save regularly (click Save) when entering marks for large classes. If a mark is outside the range of valid marks for the task it will not be possible to save until that mark is corrected - an error message will bring this to your attention and the row containing the invalid mark will be highlighted in accordance with the Student Status Colour Legend. To return to the main Task Marks screen click Save & Exit. To quit without saving click Cancel

Composite % Mark

The Composite % mark is calculated by multiplying each mark by the weighting allocated. As marks are entered into individual tasks, the main Task Marks window will display the Composite % mark for each student.

When all task marks have been entered, you can use this calculated Composite % mark as the basis for your final marks. Click Copy Composite to transfer the calculated Composite % mark to the Final Marks screen ready for grading. Note: this copy will overwrite any current marks in the Final Marks screen.

If you chose not to use the Copy Composite function, you can manually enter final composite marks in the Final Marks screen. This will not have any impact on the task marks already saved.
