Q1: I would like to learn how to put in codes that monitor the students' behavior in the attendance section. For example, in my gradebook, if a student is sleeping during class, I put an SL; if the student is caught with a cell phone, I put a CP; uniform, U, ect. When I look at the final grades, all of these marks do affect their average. Not sure if this is possible with the Gradekeeper program, but I thought I'd throw it out there.

A1: Non graded (NG) items (PG 24 User Guide), footnotes (PG 21 User Guide) or student comments (PG 19 User Guide).

Q2: I would love to find a way to import or copy and paste class lists into the program, but unless something has been changed or discovered in the last few months I don't think there is a way to import a class list from sources we have available.

A2: To import students into Grade keeper you have to create a tab delimited file import students into the class. (PG 30-31 User Guide)

Q3: How can I organize / sync assignments across multiple classes? ...easily import names and ID#s? ...copy categories and weights for grading (participation, homework, etc.) to my other classes besides manually entering 5 different categories and weights to 5 different classes?

A3: Click on the number of the assignment, cop and past into a different class.
