Class Report - "Real Name" Version



The following is a Summary report for a class. This report is for internal use by you and administrators. It is NOT for posting in your classroom! For a postable report, see the Code Name class report, section 8-7.

Real Name Class Report Form


The report includes

The reported class average may vary for some students. This is because each of these students have incomplete assessments which have NOT been counted as a zero. MarkBook distinguishes these as NoMark assessments versus Zero! assessments and treats them differently in the calculation of overall grades. "NoMark" assessments are NOT counted whereas "Zero!" assessments ARE counted. For fairest comparison, a unique "comparison average" is calculated for each student on the basis of only those assessments which count for this student. This is the fairest comparison possible since each student is compared to the rest of the class on the same set of assessments. Be prepared for some student questions on this comparison. The average and median as reported at the top of the form are the "true" class figures.

"NoMark vs Zero" is a very useful option for you. Decide which to use each time you enter grades. Of course, you can change any entry later should the student complete the missing item or should you change your mind.

The comparison to class average (+/- Class Avg column) for a few students may appear to be incorrect mathematically. This is because each printed number is rounded off for display purposes only. For instance, 78.46389% and 79.66389% differ by 1.2%. However, MarkBook correctly rounds off and displays these three numbers as 78%, 80%, and 1% respectively. The deviation between 78% and 80%, as calculated by a student examining the posted report, is 2% not 1%. This apparent "error" is due to rounding off and will never exceed 1%. Much of this issue will disappear by selecting the option to print to one decimal place as shown above. Now, the maximum "discrepancy" will be 0.1%.
