3 Assignment Marks (Campus Instruction) Using Assignment Marks Creating Assignment Marks PATH: Campus Instruction > Grade Book > Settings > Assignment Marks Assignment marks allow teachers to create their own grading thresholds, which convert scores entered into percents. Assignment marks are applied to a single assignment at a time. This tool could be useful in instances when you want to create a custom set of scores for an assignment that should have a numeric effect on student score. For example, an art teacher may want to score projects with a letter grade rather than a point value. The assignment marks would then convert that letter grade into a numeric percentage for grade calculation. All grading scales can be used as assignment marks as well, with the scale's Min % converted into the Percent Earned. Assignment Marks Accessed from the Grade Book Using Assignment Marks Assignment marks can be used when you need a custom scale for a specific type of activity. For example, a teacher could use marks similar to those shown below to score a daily free writing assignment where students either complete the assignment satisfactorily, completed it but needs improvement, or did not do the assignment at all. Assignment marks are aligned to individual assignments in the Scoring Alignment Detail: 3

4 Using Marks in Assignments When applied to an assignment, the assignment marks are used to indicate passing scores in the Grade Book In the example of the daily writing tasks, a teacher could create an assignment for the first day and then copy it by opening the assignment in the Grade Book and clicking the Copy button in the bottom right hand corner. Copy the assignment for each day you'll do this task, changing the Name and Due Date of each one. Creating Assignment Marks Create assignment marks to address specific scenarios when you may want custom scoring options. 4
