Grade books may be kept in many forms: paper-based, computer-based,
or web-based.
The Grade book in GeorgiaVIEW Vista will
allow students to view their own grades and not the grades
of others. This is a popular
option among students. Faculty have full control
over which grades are released to students and when they are
released. Some faculty elect to keep their grade books locally
and then post the grades into GeorgiaVIEW Vista for the convenience
of their students. GeorgiaVIEW Vista has an option
to import and export the Grade book into Excel.
Excel, Microsoft Office's spreadsheet program,
is also a popular choice. Like the Grade book in GeorgiaVIEW
Vista, grades can be "calculated" from individual
grades. One example of a calculated grade is finding the average
of a series of quiz grades. By establishing the formula through
which the grades are calculated, faculty members are relieved
of the burden of hand calculating grades or an intermediate
step to calculating an overall grade.
The following Word documents are step-by-step instructions
for common commands and actions for use within Excel.
Official final grades are submitted electronically
into the Banner Student Information System using Campus
Pipeline. More information on the submission of grades
can be found through the Special
Projects Office, the office responsible for Banner Training.
Quick Tip: You
can have a window to Banner open and a window into your grades
(Excel or GeorgiaVIEW Vista) and then tell the computer you
want to see the two windows side-by-side. See the tutorial "Tiling
Windows Vertically" for information on how
to do this.
Official class rolls are obtained from information contained
within the Banner Student Information System.
NEW: Picture-based rolls
are now available through Pipeline. Log into Pipeline
and select the "Elroy" Tab. Then choose "Faculty" and
you will see the option for obtaining your roll.
Text-only Rolls:
To access the system to obtain these rolls you must have a
Banner account. The accounts are granted after mandatory training
which is conducted by the Special
Projects Office.
If you need a class roll and have not yet received your account,
your departmental secretary should be able to run that report
for you. The person running the report will need to know the
specific sections, such as ENGL-1101-A and B.
As of this writing, the active reports for class rolls are:
- WREG-107 which produces a file
suitable for loading into Excel.
- WREG-106 which
produces a paper-based roll.
Student names are loaded GeorgiaVIEW Vista via a process that
extracts enrollment data from Banner. If there is a difference
between the GeorgiaVIEW Vista roll and the Banner roll, the Banner-based
roster is the OFFICIAL DEFINITIVE ROLL. Procedures
exist within the GeorgiaVIEW Vista system to correct the GeorgiaVIEW
roll. See the help system for adding and deleting members for
those procedures.
Attendance records must be kept for all classes. In the case
of totally on-line or hybrid courses (some face-to-face meetings
and some on-line meetings), the tracking and reporting mechanisms
in GeorgiaVIEW Vista will act as your attendance
record.
