Entering Student Competency Marks and Comments

Use this procedure to step through entering mark and comment information for student competency groups. Competency Entry allows you to select if you want to work in a competency grid of all students or a competency list for a single student. To enter marks from a view that is focused on a single student and provides the prior marking period marks, use List mode. Refer to the appropriate procedure below.

If you use Load from Gradebook to calculate and load marks, you should only enter a mark value on this page if you do not want to have the student's mark calculated. Manually entering a mark value on the Competency Entry page is considered a mark override and the Load from Gradebook will not overwrite the mark.

  1. From Grade Reporting, select Competencies to display the Competency Entry page.
  2. If you need to update the student competency group or marking period, click Change to display the Class List pop-up, and make your selections.
