Excused Assignments

You now have the option to mark assignments as "Excused" in the points-based gradebook template. If you have a student that you would like to excuse an assignment for, simply enter the letter "E" into the appropriate cell for that assignment / student, and that assignment will not factor into the calculations.

Gradebook conditional formatting

You will notice that both templates have automatic color coding for the average grades of each student (Column B), and the average grades for each assignment (Row 1). This conditional formatting will allow you to easily identify students who are struggling or assignments that may have been too difficult or too easy.
