Import Grades

Online Documentation ANGEL 7.2 > Manage Tab > Import Grades

 

The Import Grades option allows the course editor to import assignment grades from any delimited file format.


The Import Grades utility does not add new assignments or students to an existing gradebook or roster. New assignments must already exist (or be added) to the gradebook prior to the import process for the new assignment grades to be successfully imported into the gradebook. Likewise new students must exist (or be added) to the course roster prior to the import process for the new student grades to be successfully imported.

To import assignment grades into the ANGEL Gradebook:

  1. Click the Import Grades hyperlink. Step 1 of the Import Grades page displays.

  1. Click the Browse button.  A Choose File dialog box appears on the screen.
  2. Locate and select the delimited grades file you wish to import and click the Open button.
  3. Select the delimiter format for the grades file (comma, tab, or other) and click the Next button.  Step 2 of the Import Grades page displays.

The Import Grades page provides options for mapping each column of data to the correct gradebook assignment and for “skipping” some data columns to selectively update specific assignment grades.
When importing a grades data file that was originally exported from the ANGEL gradebook and which has not been modified from its original column mapping format, you may ignore the Column Mappings options and proceed to step 5 below. Changes to the Column Mapping fields are required only if you are working with a custom column format or if you want to “skip” particular assignment grades.

  1. Select the column that contains the User ID for each student. Then, map each of the other columns to the assignment whose grades are stored in the column.
  2. Select Skip for any column which does not contain any data you want imported.
  3. Select Percentages or Points from the Treat Values as radio buttons.
  4. Clear Lock Important Grades if you want ANGEL to recalculate the grade against a submission.
  5. Click the Finish button.  A message appears noting the number of assignment and student records that were successfully imported.
