7. To continue setting up average calculations, repeat step 2 through step 6.
Note: If you are building traditional report cards, the average calculations defined
on this screen will be available when setting up the Year to Date calculation
method.
Note: To delete a reporting period from an average calculation, click the check
box in the Del? column for the reporting period you want to delete.
Note: Any reporting period or exam grades included in the system calculation
that do not have a mark entered will not be included in final calculations. For
example, if the calculation is set up to include Q1, Q2 and SemEx with weights of
2, 2 and 1, respectively, and the teacher enters an 88.5 for Q1 and 77.25 for Q2
but enters nothing for SemEx, the calculation will be as follows: (88.5*2) +
(77.25*2) / (2+2) = 82.88%. The empty grade along with its weight value are
ignored.

Calculation on the Advanced Calc tab will be available in the Calculation list on the System Calcs
tab.
