Get to this screen from the main operating screen section 3-1, by clicking on the Class Report button and then clicking on the Entries tab near the upper left. Move the two scroll bars vertically for students, or horizontally to view all of their marks, grades, or scores. In this example, the teacher has selected assessment #30, "Wanted Poster", by clicking on that column. The blue box to the lower right gives summary details about the selected assessment.

View a subset of the marks/grades by clicking on the toggles in the Unit: and Category: menus. Alter the display within the grid to percentages or levels by selecting any of the Format: cells at the bottom. The Round Off box causes MarkBook to display numbers to the nearest integer. If not selected, data will display to one decimal place. These are display options only. In all cases, MarkBook data is calculated and stored to six decimal places!

Assessments with a mark of zero show up as Zero! on this screen. Assessments for which no mark was entered show up as horizontal dotted lines -----. The word NoMark appears on some screens where there is sufficient room.

When you click on Save in the update screen, it will return you to this screen with the cell, the student's overall grade, and the class calculations all updated.
