Starting a New Gradebook
You’re likely to need only a single Easy Grade Pro gradebook at a time. Since a gradebook can hold up to 250 classes in up to ten terms you might want to use a single gradebook for an entire school year because it saves time and minimizes the duplication of efforts. Since a gradebook can become large you may want to create a new gradebook for each major term. Don’t do this, however, if the student grades in one term must be combined with the grades in another.
To start a new gradebook:
- Start Easy Grade Pro. On a Macintosh, do this by double-clicking on the Easy Grade Pro 3.6 icon in the Easy Grade Pro folder. On a Windows computer, do this by clicking on Start, choosing Programs, and then choosing Easy Grade Pro. A title window will appear (shown below).
- Click the Create a New Gradebook button. The standard Save window will open where you can name and choose a location for your new gradebook.
- In the Save window, type the name of your new gradebook. What name should you give it? We recommend that you use your last name and the year (or term) such as Smith 2003-4 or Smith Winter Term 2003.
- Choose the location for your gradebook. We recommend that you save it to your computer’s Desktop because 1) you’ll have ready access to it, 2) you’ll be able to open it easily by double-clicking its icon, and 3) the Desktop is a reliable place to store an important file since it is part of your computer’s hard drive.
- Click the Save button. Easy Grade Pro will create an empty gradebook and open the gradebook’s window.
