  How does an absence or an unreturned test count towards the average?

You decide! When you are entering grades for a test, choose:

• not to include the test in the calculation of the average by entering:
  • A (the student is absent -- Abs)
  • E (the student is exempt -- Exempt)
  • N (the student is not graded -- N.Grad)
  • I (the student is unfit -- Inap)
  • R (the student has not submitted in his/her assignment -- N.Sbm)

• count the test as a 0 when calculating the average:
  
  • Z (the student has an unjustified absence -- Abs*)
  • W (the student has not submitted his/her assignment -- N.Sbm*)
