Setting Up Participation points

If you simply want to grade based on participation, click on the Manage tab, then the name of your class on the left, then click on “Results Manager”.

You’ll be taken to a screen where you can see the results for every session that is saved for that participant list.

Next, you should select the “Participation” dropdown menu.  Under that menu, you can set the percentage of questions that the student needs to answer to receive participation points under “Session Threshold”, and the number of points per session should be set under “Participation Points”.

Once you do so, all future sessions will have participation points recorded.

Exporting Grades

To export the grades to Scholar, you must first run a poll with your participant list.  To do so, open the TurningPoint software and select a participant list on the left. Then conduct your polling as normal.

To make exporting your session easier, before starting a PowerPoint or Anywhere (with correct answers) polling session, select the correct course from your Courses menu.

Regular Session Export

When you’ve finished polling, you’ll be asked if you want to save the session. Click Save, and save the session in the folder that is selected by default.

You’ll be brought to a screen where you can view the results of the polling by clicking “Reports”.

Click on your course on the left.

Then, click Upload Grades.

You’ll get a warning if students have not finished setting up their clickers and purchasing a license.  Just click OK.

You’re then asked which columns that you’d like to upload.  Check the ones that you want and click Upload. If you want, you can check the “Automatically upload participants for all courses when they become registered.” checkbox so that you don’t have to remember to go back and re-upload once students set up their accounts.

The Task Status window will appear and will let you know once the upload is complete.

Click Close to close the window.

Quick Export from PowerPoint

If you’ve selected a course going into PowerPoint Polling, you can export your grades directly from the PowerPoint window.  Note that this will only upload the scores from the session; not overall grades or particpation points. First, poll as normal.

Then, click the Save button on the TurningPoint toolbar and choose Save Session and Upload Results.

You’ll get a warning if any students have not completed their clicker registration and purchased their licenses.

The session scores are automatically sent to Scholar and you’ll receive a success message.
