Get to this screen from the Student Report Screen, section 9-1, by clicking on Categories. This screen provides a bar graph summary report for all category subsets of an individual student's current overall grade. Use this screen for analysis of individual achievement. Use it for parent interviews as well.

This is a Category summary for a fictitious student part way through a Mathematics course. The student's achievement in five categories/strands is bar graphed.

To select any other student, use the toggles and/or the up/down arrows at the upper left.

See an attendance analysis window box by clicking the number inside the Absent: cell or inside the Late:/Tardy: cell at the lower left. Age will display if the birth date has been entered for this student. Check the Round Off cell to display grades to the nearest integer. Or, click the Show Mark % or Show Level or Show Mode cells to display these items. If selected, note how the mode or the level appear next to the percentage grade at the top right.

Click on the Comments button to select comments, section 9-4, from the pre-loaded comments file or to build your own for each student. These will print on individual reports, section 9-6, if you specify that option on the Print/Communicate screen.

Click on the summary numbers inside either the NoMark or Zero! cells at the upper right to display a listing of these items. Note that the total number of assessment entries is listed above these cells.

Access the weighting functions directly from this screen by clicking on the Weight button, section 7-6. The Weight button accesses one of the most powerful features of MarkBook - the ability to adjust the importance of any assessment and any category/strand towards the overall mark or grade. Click the Notes button to go directly to Anecdotal Notes, section 3-3.

Click on the Trends tab at the top to see a bar or line graph of this student's performance compared to the class average. The Categories screen above and the Trend Graph screen, section 9-3, are very useful during a parent interview or a private student interview. Anyone can quickly identify patterns and areas of weakness from these screens. Both parents and students find the visual displays informative and attractive.

Click on the Modal Analysis tab at the top to see modal performance in user-defined levels as in section 9-4. Select the Print/Communicate tab to move to the Student Report print options as in section 9-5. Return to the Main Operating Screen, section 3-1, by clicking on the Back button at the lower right.
