Download GradeBook Builder

When downloading the GradeBook Builder file you MUST Save the file to your hard drive before Opening the file. I suggest saving the GB Builder.xls file in the 'My Documents' folder of the C: drive of your computer here at HCC. Then you may simply double-click on the 'GB Builder' filename in the 'My Documents' folder whenever you wish to automatically create a new gradebook file. Careful, the GB Builder will automatically replace any previous file for that CRN and semester. The Builder will also create grade books for Summer Session courses. The GB Builder now WORKS in Excel 2007 and earlier versions..

Feel free to re-create the gradebook whenever a student adds your class if you want an updated attendance sheet. I would suggest that you wait until you're sure that the last student has completed the registration for your class, before creating the final version of your gradebook and manually modifying anything in the gradebook file.

When a new gradebook file is created, its filename will include the semester, course code, and section number for the specified CRN, (i.e. GB Sp05 ENG101-05.xls). The file will be placed in a sub-folder, under the 'My Documents' folder of your computer, with the folder name of the course code( i.e. ENG101). If the course code folder does not exist, the GB Builder will automatically create the folder for you. After the file is created, the gradebook file may be moved to any other folder on your computer here at HCC or to your home computer if it has MS Excel installed. On the other hand the GB Builder will only work here at HCC where it can access the local Student Files database. Cindy Lidman will update the database for the first day of class and then weekly for the first few weeks of the semester.
