The Ultra Gradebook functions differently than Original in some aspects. The Overall Grade column functions as a total/calculated column, but users are unable to change the name of this column.
Users will need to create a new column to import because UA’s process for importing grades to myBama depends on the name of the column.
For midterm grading, the column needs to be named “Midterm.”
For final grading, the column needs to be named “Final.”
Instructions
In an Ultra View course, select Gradebook.
Add a new Total Calculation column to the Gradebook by clicking the plus sign between two columns and select Add Total Calculation.
Name the column Midterm or Final.
Under Select a grade schema, select Letter.
Under Select a Calculation Type, select the appropriate calculation method for you course: Points or Weighted.
Assign points or percentage values to grading columns/categories. If using weights, ensure your percentages equal 100%.
Click Save when finished.
