Within each grade book there are different levels of use. You can enter Assignments and give the student grades for those assignments. Assignment grades are used to calculate term grades. Term grades are used to calculate Semester and Final Grades. Progress Report averages can be derived from Assignment Grades in the middle of a term. Each user must determine how comfortable they are with the program and at what level they would like to use it.
Users who prefer not to enter Assignment Grades have the option to simply type in the averages that will be sent to Progress Reports
