FTT - Another Semester Wrap Up! Spring 2023

 Let's Wrap Up The Year!

 Schoology/IC Checklist (May 2023)

New IC-Schoology Sync Regime

OK, year one of the Manual IC-Schoology sync is drawing to a close. Hopefully, by this point, we've taken our licks and figured out most of the sync issues, and are ready to finalize our gradebooks. There's nothing quite like being able to click "POST" and close out all of your tabs at the end of a semester. So to get there, where do we start?

STEP ONE: Sync Verification

Make sure that your scores in Infinite Campus match the scores you see in your Schoology Gradebook. If there are discrepancies between these two scores, here's what you should do:

• Check Infinite Campus Grade Calculations. Category percentages, Weighted Grades, and Final Exam information need to be identical between IC and Schoology. Here are the updated instructions.
• Make sure you are SYNCED in Schoology. It's the easiest mistake to make. Click on the Infinite Campus button in Schoology.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

STEP TWO: Entering Final Exams/Projects

Do you have a final exam that lives outside the in-progress semester grade? 

For example, here is a breakdown of how my semester grade is calculated.

 Two Options- Enter In Schoology And Sync Or Enter Directly Into IC

   

For either option, do this first:

• Go to your IC gradebook and click on Settings -> Grade Calc Options and make sure it is set to calculate correctly. As an example, here is what mine looks like.
  

  
  

Option 1: Enter in Schoology and then sync to IC

• Enter your assessment/assignment in Schoology. DO NOT click the box that says "Set As Midterm/Final". Just make sure your grading task is set to Final Assessment. You can enter multiple parts to your final. As you enter each part, just make sure the Final Assessment grading task is chosen. 

• Enter the grades and click on the sync button to move over to IC. You should be able to see those grades appear in the Final Assessment task in Infinite Campus.
  
  

Option 2: Enter directly into the Infinite Campus grade book

•  In Infinite Campus go to your grade book, choose a section, and then choose Final Assessment as the grading task.
• Click Add (top left, above settings) and then enter the details for your final. If you have a final with multiple parts, you can click Add and enter as many parts as you need.
• Click Save or click Add Sections to add it to other course sections.
• Enter the grades in the IC grade book and click Save.

STEP THREE: Finalize, Post, and Save Your Grades.

• Take a look and make sure the grades look accurate. Go to your Infinite Campus grade book and select a section. Choose the Semester grading task. 

• Go to Grade Book.  Under the Semester task, click the orange "Post" in the "In-Progress" column.  After you click "Post", a window will open to the right to confirm details.  Make sure you are posting to the Semester Task and click OK.  This will put all grades in the "Posted" column.  Lastly, make sure to click "Save", which will turn orange from grey after you post.  Repeat for every section.

• IF YOU NEED TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS TO THE GRADE: You will do that in the Posted Column and then click SAVE. 

And that's that? Hopefully, there are fewer issues this time around. As always, let us know if you have any questions or need additional help!
