The Current tab will show you all the assignments set by you (and only you) by default. How can I see if I have any uncompleted assignments? The archiving functionality helps you to organise your assignments. Any assignment that has reached its due date can be archived. Yes. All results are fed through to the Reports tab regardless of whether the students have completed the assignment (an empty cell denotes ‘not completed’) — or whether the teacher has marked the assignment (an em-dash denotes ‘awaiting marking’). I still can’t see the results for my assignment in the Reports tab. Why not? Instant in situ analysis as soon as marks are entered – no more exporting/importing and no moredelays Moving something to the Archived tab doesn’t change its status or prevent you from marking the assignment. It is just organising the assignment items into two lists (Current and Archived).

A combination of shift, tab and enter (tab for right/shift-tab for left/enter for down/shift-enter for up) Here is a key for the symbols: Can I view marks as percentages instead of scores in the Group Task Report? You can't save impossible marks. If you try to enter an impossible mark (e.g. 2 marks on a 1 mark question), the cell will "wobble", and the value will remain whatever it was before you tried to enter the impossible mark. Use the ‘not submitted’ filter to find all assignments where one or more students still haven’t submitted their work. It will show assignments which are either before or past their due date. I can’t find an assignment from July 2021/where are my old assignments?You can enter marks at question level or at whole grade level. This article explains how this feature works. My Markbook simplifies the assessment process by enabling teachers to record the outcomes of tests, observations, evaluations, skills competences and more all in one place, on any device, from anywhere. The RAG coding is no longer available, but you can still see students’ marks for each question at a glance. Can I get further support? You can navigate your way around the markbook using keyboard shortcuts. There are two options for doing so: A teacher’s time is precious, and My Markbook saves that valuable time by keeping you up to date with changes like pupil premium or SEND, so you can be ready for any resulting differences in lesson planning or preparation. Like the rest of our SIMS Next Gen products, My Markbook accesses all the student data stored in SIMS, and automatically syncs with SIMS to give you instant, real-time information from across the school. Teachers can view a list of students in any of their classes and add extra columns to the markbook to see contextual student information alongside their results.

The other major thing is that grade boundaries cannot be calculated using a raw score instead of a percentage, when using past papers, the boundaries are given as raw not %. Having to calculate %’s seems to defeat the purpose of having the markbook, plus, there is the potential for rounding errors if converting to %.
Use "N" to indicate where answers were not attempted. You can use the "N" mark to distinguish a "not answered" question from an incorrect question (which should be scored as a "0"). "N" marks still count as 0, but by using the "N" mark, you'll be able to see a difference between incorrect and unanswered questions. You can see student characteristics by using the "Characteristics" slider. At the top left of the markbook, there is a slider labelled "Characteristics". Moving this to the "on" position will show the characteristics of your students, such as their gender, pupil premium, EAL and SEN status. You can filter for assignments that are ‘to mark’. This will show all unmarked assignments that require manual marking. How can I find the assignments that I’ve set? Markbooks are accessed from the "Markbooks" tab. Here you will find all markbooks that have been assigned to classes you teach. If you're an administrator, you'll also see all markbooks from your school or MAT. Your markbook will autosave every few seconds. You don't ever have to worry about losing the data you've entered with Smartgrade! We auto-save your marks every few seconds, and you always know when that's happened as they go green once saved (see screenshot below).
