any existing gradebooks listed first
(if any) and an Add Gradebook
button.
Gradebook Settings
You are asked to what decimal you would like to
round your grades (one decimal, two decimals, or
strictly whole numbers) and how you would like
your grade subtotal displayed (by percent, letter
grade, or both).
Gradebook Categories
Gradebook Categories allow you to create groupings within your gradebook, such
as "homework," "tests," "projects," etc.
1. Assess Tab  Grades __> Manage Gradebook  Gradebook Settings
2. Make sure you select “Use Gradebook Categories”
3. Manage Gradebook Tab  Manage Categories
4. You can choose whether or not you want to
“weight” the categories
Grade Notation Set
• Select Create New and create
your own grading scale on the
next window to pop up.
• If you choose to create your
own grading scale, you may
name your Notation Set and
then set the Notation, what a
given percentage translates to
in terms of notation, and what
specific percentage the
gradebook should translate any
grades entered into the
Gradebook in Notation form.
Special Score Notation Set
• Special scores are
used to notate
gradebook entries
such as Excused,
Inexcused or
Incomplete.
• These notations are
used to award 'no
credit', 'full credit' or
to ignore the entry in
the final grade
calculation.

Hiding Students from the Roster
• Select manage class, and then open
the roster
• Select the Manage tab next to the
student you are going to block from
the class and select “Remove from
roster”
• Once again, select Manage Class,
and then open the Roster
• Open the Manage Roster menu and
click on Roster Settings for more
options.
• Once you have opened the Roster
Settings area, check the box marked
"Hide disabled students."
Hiding Students from the Roster
•
Students who are removed from the roster will also be hidden
from most areas of your class such as the Roster, Gradebook,
and Attendance features, the Inbox recipients list, and the
Dropbox. Removed students should not receive Notifications
from the class in which they are removed.
•
Where did all of their data go? Why can't I just delete my
removed students?
– In the interest of preventing the accidental loss of
important student information, Haiku no longer allows
Teachers or Administrators to completely delete users with
data from the Roster of a class. Once a user is removed
from the roster, it seems like their data has disappeared,
but it has not been deleted. You can re-enable a removed
student at any time by unchecking the "Hide disabled
students" option. The student will reappear in your
Gradebook, Inbox recipients list, etc. All of their data
should be repopulated.
•
Please note: In order to maintain the integrity of Wikiprojects
and Discussions, student work submitted to those areas of a
class will not be hidden when the student is removed from the
Roster.
Publishing Grades
• By default all grades are not
visible to student until you
publish it.
• You have to publish each
entry and the subtotal to
make them visible to
student.
• If the published subtotal is
different than the Subtotal,
it means not all gradebook
entries have been published.
Extra Credit
• Select the checkbox "Make this an extra credit
assignment"
– You can find this checkbox on any grade-able item
(assignments, assessments, discussions and
miscellaneous items)
– You can then specify a total number possible, but if the
user gets zero points then there is no penalty. If they
do get points those points get added to their total
score for the category.
Options when viewing the Gradebook
• Assignments in different
categories appear in
different colors in the
gradebook
• You can view all
assignments in the
gradebook, or you can view
specific categories
Sorting Gradebook Entries
• Select the sorting tab
– Located at the top of the
gradebook, to the left of the
Manage Gradebook Tab
Gradebook Autofill
• Autofill grades for an assignment
Great features of the Haiku Gradebook
• You can choose when to “publish” individual gradebook
entries for students viewing
• Students see their grade as soon as they log in to Haiku
• Teachers can include comments with a student’s individual
assignment grade (either comments for the student to see, or
comments that only the teacher can see)
• The Gradebook is fully integrated with Assessments,
Assignments, and Discussions, so you only need to enter
grades once. Even enter grades and your comments within
those tools, and Haiku will record the info in your gradebook.
Current Limitations with the Haiku Gradebook
• Ability to view the class average for individual
assignments
• Ability to select and print individual grade reports for
multiple students at once (you have to view and print
each grade summary individually)
– Planned
• Ability to curve assignments
