The assessments view brings every assigned assessment for a class onto a single page, regardless of grading scale, so you can track performance, manage statuses, and enter grades without leaving the gradebook.

The assessments view of your gradebook lets you see all assigned assessments for each class on one page. You can set statuses for individual students or a whole class at once, add comments for students to review, and grade any points-based assessment directly from this view.

Step 1: Navigate to the Gradebook module and select the Assessments tab.

Step 2: Use the drop-down menu to specify which class you want to view.

The total grade appears in two ways, and sometimes three, depending on your district's setup.

Step 1: Review the Points value, which is the total points the student has earned across all assessments in the class.

Step 2: Review the Percentage value, based on points earned vs. points possible.

Step 3: If your district has grade conversion enabled, review the Grade Conversion, which turns the total point or percentage value into a specific level.

Each column represents a single assessment. Columns are listed in order of due date. If an assessment has no due date, it sorts by most recently assigned.

Step 1: Scan across the columns to compare assessments side by side.

Step 2: To change the order of the assessments, add or adjust the due date.

Points earned per assessment are listed under each assessment column.

Step 1: Double-click the point value you want to change.

Step 2: Enter the new score.

Step 3: To remove a score, press the Backspace or Delete key, then press Enter or Return.

Each assessment can be marked On Time, Late, Excluded, Excused, or Missing.

The table below explains when each status applies.

Step 1: Double-click the status field for the assessment you want to change.

Step 2: Choose the appropriate status from the drop-down.

Step 1: Select the speech bubble on the assessment you want to comment on.

Step 2: Enter your comment. The student will see it when reviewing the assessment or directly in their gradebook view.

The individual student view gives you a closer look at one student's performance and growth.

Step 1: Click directly on a student's name to open the list of all assessments assigned to them.

Step 2: Review the detailed data for that student, which shows:

Plus Assessments: To add a grade for work completed outside Otus, click the plus (+) icon and add a Plus Assessment.

Groups: To organize students, select the boxes to the left of each student you want to include, then click the groups icon (the flag symbol) to create a new student group or add them to an existing one.

Notes: To record a note that appears in the student profile and on report cards, select the boxes to the left of the relevant students, then click the notes icon.

If your district has grading periods established, select the one you want under the Grading Period drop-down. The gradebook defaults to the current grading period, and you can switch to a year-long view as needed. If no grading periods are established, the gradebook defaults to the full academic year.

Weighting lets you make certain categories of assessments worth more, which changes how the overall grade calculates.

Step 1: Open the weighting settings for the class.

Step 2: Assign weights to your assessment categories.

Export or Print: Click the ellipsis in the upper-right corner and select Download as CSV. The file opens in your spreadsheet program, such as Microsoft Excel or Numbers. Then, choose the print option from that program's menu.
