Progress Book: Codes


Throughout the first quarter I was asked several times to define codes, colors, and terms being issued by ProgressBook and well…I just didn’t know. I was using deductive reasoning to determine when you got a blue and when you got a w or a W. Really?! Two different red w’s and let’s face it, even if it’s supposed to be orange it still looks red.

So these two pictures should help a lot.

This first picture is the class dashboard codes.
If you select a class and see these codes next to a student’s name or next to assignments in the assignment list you can decipher what they are trying to tell you. A W next to a student name means withdrawn while a w next to an assignment name means the assignments are posted to the web. Look at the codes if you get stuck while preparing grade cards. Checkmarks let you know grades are entered for all students.
This is a nice quick glance when you are wrapping up the quarter.


The next picture set is grade book grid symbols.
If the grid is highlighted one of these colors it’s indicating that you marked it late, missing, etc.
