Hold the Grade v 1.6
If you want to see Hold the Grade (formerly Grade Tracker) please follow this link. To learn more about version 1.6, please continue reading.
Don’t be confused, this is the spreadsheet formally known as Grade Tracker. The name changed because I went to Google’s blog search and there were a lot of things called Grade Tracker. Some were free, some weren’t. Some were designed more for teachers to replace the paper grade book. So before this really takes off, I wanted to give it a name that won’t be so common. So I decided to go with “Hold the Grade” because when I designed this for myself the idea was to make something that would let me know what I needed to do to hold a B in certain classes.
Why Version 1.6 is Better Than Version 1.5
There aren’t a lot of updates from 1.5, but the updates are high quality.
- I figured out how to hide the “Points Lost” column on the Semester Grades sheet. Basically, I put it on another sheet called “Dirty Work” and had “Semester Grades” and “Dirty Work” talk to each other.
- Hold the Grade now plays nicely with assignments that haven’t been turned in yet and assignments where you got a 0 at the same time. Before if you got a 0 it treated the assignment as if you hadn’t turned it in. I don’t expect any of you to get a 0 on an assignment, but if you do this will correctly reflect that.
I’m still working on making this a stand alone program. But I’m still excited about this release.
