Prepare Midterm Grades
Your midterm grades are ready if you’ve ensured that:
- The grade scale (schema) set in your Gradebook matches your syllabus.
- All graded items that count towards the midterm grade have been entered in the Gradebook.
- Zeros have been entered for missing items that should've been attempted.
- Gradebook items have been added to the appropriate category (if using categories).
- Now you're ready for students to see their midterm grades.
Lock In Midterm Grades & Send to Porches/Banner
After you've verified that midterm grades are ready, follow these steps:
- Navigate to the Gradebook tool in your Isidore site.
- Click on the drop-down arrow in the “Midterm Grade” header cell and select “Lock in midterm grades”.
- A list of students with their current calculated course grades and corresponding midterm grades will be populated on the screen. You may change a student’s midterm grade by selecting another letter grade from the drop-down menu. Additionally, midterm grade comments may be entered into the provided text box.
NOTE: Midterm grade comments will only be visible to students in Isidore, but not Banner.
Review all grades for accuracy, and scroll down to the bottom of the page.
Check the box next to “I’m ready for students to see their midterm grades”. If you're ready to send your midterm grades to Banner, check the box next to "Submit my midterm grades to Banner" and click on Save Changes.
NOTE: If this is the first time a midterm grade has been locked in for a student, an email notification goes out to them, letting them know their midterm grade is available in Isidore’s Gradebook. You can still update a student’s midterm grade and/or comments, but a subsequent email notification will not be sent.
If grades were not successfully sent, you can manually enter midterm grades in Porches/Banner.
- When you return to the main page of Gradebook, the Midterm Grade column will now be populated with letter grades.
- If you sent your midterm grades to Banner, click on the Grades to Banner tab to see the status of grades. The status will say "Pending" and will switch to "Submitted" after a process runs overnight.
