Grade Book Score Markings

In the WebVista grade book you may notice a caret mark (^) next to some scores, a N/A mark in a calculated column, or numbers in parentheses and italics (###) in a calculated column.

Explanation

Marking	Style	Explanation
40.00		This score was entered automatically when a student completed an assessment or a submission from within a tool that enables grading by the instructor or TA (i.e., Discussions posting or Assignment submission); or manually by the instructor or TA in a column he or she created in the grade book.
^27.00	caret with number	The caret appears in columns that had, or should have had, scores entered automatically but instead have scores that were entered or changed manually.
N/A		This text appears in a calculated column when a value cannot be calculated because there are no values in any of the columns used in the formula.
(67.0)	parentheses and italics	This marking appears in a calculated column when the total is incomplete because there are no values in one or more of the columns used in the formula. It does not indicate a negative number as in some spreadsheet applications.
