Don't forget to POST

If you need to make any changes to the grade reported on your gradebook, don't forget to POST the grades. 

• You may Post any number of times
• Posting sends a grade to the report card

Report Card Analogy

The Post-Columns Term page of your gradebook can be thought of as a piece of paper listing the grades that you are reporting to the office.  On this paper, you will 

1. report the grade that you want the student to receive
2. the number of absences for the class
3. comments that you would like to share about the student

Any time that you change this information - for example, increasing a student grade or adding comments - you update the form.  

But making the change to the form is not enough.  To get the grade to the office, you must click on the POST button.  Otherwise, it will just sit on your (Aspen) desk.

Pass/Fail Grading

Pass/Fail Grading in Aspen is EASY.

Adding a Pass Fail Grade to an Assignment

To give a student a P(ass) grade on a single assignment, simply type in the letter P in the place of a number grade in the assignment column.

Similarly, you would add an F for a student who Failed the assignment.

Adding a Pass Fail Grade for the Quarter

After Updating Post Columns, change the grade (which may be blank) to a P or F.  Add comments and then click the Post Grades button.
