Calculate an average with scores and grades

What can be 'averaged' in iDoceo?

Short answer: Anything, any column with any kind of content. Even icons.

Elaborated: Each column in your grade book has a 'Grade type' or 'Grading scale' asigned. This allows iDoceo to combine different kind of columns and grade scales in a single calculation and represent it in a 'Calculation' column which in turn has a grade scale or type assigned as well.
This basically means that you can mix any kind of columns in the average and the result can be represented as a grade, percent, or any other grade type , even your own.

A brief introduction

In this article, we will explain different kinds of calculations and its results with different grade types. In essence all boils down to the same steps: 

- Assign a 'Grade type' to each column, either a score, a grade or your own grade types.
- Add a column > Calculation > Weighted average
- Select the columns that you'd like to take into account (by tapping on its headers)
- Choose the Grade type that will represent the Result (i.e. A to F, or 0 to 100 for a percent)
- (optional) Assign the weight on each column. By default it calculates same weight for all columns.

A Custom Weighted average  

After adding the average calculation, you will have to tap on the headers of the columns you would like to take into account to obtain the result
