The 12 Commandments of Best Grade

1. Read the directions before using.  There is a copy of the directions on the CD or website.
2. Make sure that you have a definitive list of student names before entering them into the report cards.  If you have a list of names, then change them, this will take a lot, lot longer and will create errors.  If new students enter a class midway through the semester, add their names to the bottom of the lists and do not put your lists in alphabetical order.
3. Give Blank Teacher Pages to teachers.  Once the student names are entered into BestGrade print the Blank Teacher Pages for every class.  Then make enough photocopies of each so that each teacher can have one for each class that he or she teaches.  Put the copies in the teacher’s room or leave with the secretary.  This will save a lot of time and confusion.
4. If you are creating electronic pages for teachers, do not create them until you have entered in a definitive list of students into your Best Grade file.  Once professor pages are created new names cannot be entered into them.  They must be deleted and remade.
5. Have a folder for each class.  Store completed teacher grades sheets in the different folders.  Do not give these back to teachers, even after grades have been entered.  Do not lose!
6. Save a backup copy of your file at least once every two weeks.  Save the backup copies in a folder that has a different name, marked with the date.  Do not delete old backup copies.
7. Open only one BestGrade file at a time.  If more files are open it takes a long time to autosave and is prone to errors.
8. If the power goes out while you’re working a backup copy will likely be created.  This file will be called, for example, “Copy of BestGrade 2010”.  If the power comes back on and you open “Copy of BestGrade 2010”, enter data for a few hours, save, exit, and then the next time open “BestGrade 2010”, enter data for a few hours, save, exit, you will have a problem.
9. Enter in data into only one copy of BestGrade.  Do not enter data into multiple copies.  If you want two or more people to enter in data into the system at the same time, enter data in the created Professor pages and then copy and paste in the BestGrade file.
10. Do not print your report cards until you are sure that all information is correct.  If you are missing information do not print report cards!
11. Print out the Grade Summary for each class before printing out the report cards.  Check the results with the sheets filled out by teachers to make sure that you have not made any data entry errors.  This is very important!!!
12. Store a backup copy of your BestGrade file on a usb key or burn them onto a cd after the end of each semester.  Make multiple backup copies.

Most often, files do not open due to viruses and the effects of power cuts.  Close all other files except the one you want to open.  Try reopening it.  If you get an error message, try again after half a minute.  If the file will not open after many attempts, copy it and try to open it on a different computer.  If this does not work, use the file from the backup copy you created.  If you have not created a backup file, you need to start over.

Without a password it is not possible to unprotect the information.  Howerver, you can use the ‘File to Repair or Upgrade Best Grade to copy all your information to a new file.  The information in this file will not longer be protected by a password.

Install Best Grade on the computer.  In ‘Classes and Admin’ select ‘Allow Password Protection for Subjects’.  Insert the information from the classes and students (name, birthdate, etc.) and add the subjects.  Protect the sections.  Let each teacher enter in their own grades during the course of the semester, and let the protect their subjects with a password.  After the end of each week copy the file to a USB memory stick for safeguarding purposes.  At the end of the semester, before printing the bulletins, print the Grade Summary and check if all the grades are properly entered.

If the teachers do no want to learn how to use Best Grade, give them the ‘Blank Teacher Pages’ and have someone enter their grades into the system contains Best Grade.  Open the files and open Best Grade.  Copy the information and paste it into Best Grade. At the end of the semester, before printing the bulletins, print the Releves des notes and check if all the grades are properly entered.
