It used to say QTR 4 Avg./ QTR 4 Grade / QTR 4 Posted Grade using the word posted on two columns makes it very confusing.

Right now you can only see the name but cannot quickly identify its category. Is it a homework? A quiz? A test?

I think the above says it. We tell instructors that, once a class is posted, the screen will let them make changes to grades but those changes won't be reflected in the system. I'm not sure all our instcutors will remember that every time they think about making a grade change.

Allow to check Yes for ALL schools when entering announcements as an administrator of FAWeb. Otherwise it is a very tedious task.

It would help to remind me when I have added a comment in the attendance screen.

Teachers are frequently complaining that they will be entering grades into a column and then experience a connection problem of some sort and suddently get kicked out of FAWeb only to lose all their data and have to re-enter it again. It would be nice if each entered grades could be submitted to the server upon exit a cell/field so that data is saved along the way, similar to how data is saved with seating charts.

Most students' skills in the checklist don't change, and there is currently no way to copy/duplicate those marks. If we could copy each term's marks, we would only have to edit those checks that have changed each term/quarter/grading period.

We would like an email to be automatically sent to teachers who haven't taken attendance.

This again is an EE suggestion. When scheduling students it would be nice if the system would balance those classes across the whole year and not just load up the first term or semester. We are a school with a rotating block schedule and has four terms. We would like for the scheduler to be able to balance across ALL four terms and not just load the majority of the classes/courses in terms 1 and 2.

In EE you have the ability to copy scheduling year and you can break it down by faculty, meetings or rooms. We would like to see it by department because there are some classes that remain the same year after year.

I used to use Making-the-Grade program, and it has an option for combining grades. Although I hardly need that option now teaching in High School, I think it would come handy when I need to combine 2 assignments or more together and the program calculate an average as a new score. It was very useful when I was giving out assignments where not all students turn in the assignment, but it would harm them if I enter zero or not fair for students who turn in all assignments.

The short story...
1. Allow column widths to be adjusted, and to Auto adjust column widths.
2. Allow columns to be moved into a preferred order
The details...
Currently, screen space is being wasted. For example, if a category is Homework, 10-12 characters are empty space. Or, for example, if the scaling factor is 1, 5 characters are empty space.

As a professional developer myself, I would like to see a more concise approach to screen space, in this day of iPAD and iPHONE access to websites.

Add an auto save for the creation of parent emails that are lost due to a session coming to completion before the email is sent.

If these buttons, SAVE and COPY, were more central (like in the prior version of FA Web), instead of located far to the right, less time would be wasted moving the mouse to click on save or copy!!

we want to standardize our user ID's and most systems now ask you to use your email address. Ours are firstname.lastname The odd thing is that student ID's for login to the student portal allow this naming convention but faculty/staff ID's do not allow a period in the name.

I am unable to save to Excel 2010. When will this happen?

Have a bunch of checkboxes under the Options menu that parents/students can select what things they want to be notified for - via email (or text messages?).
Like:
when grades are entered or updated
when there are missing assignments
when grade average is below a certain percentage
when there are new announcements

The program currently looks at the class level instead of the student in the ungraded view of drop box. There is no way the teacher can see from this view how many more papers need to be graded once one paper is graded. This would allow the teacher a better view of what has been done and what still needs to be done.

An offline option for inputting grades when internet access is not available that can later sync (be imported) to the online version. Currently there is the export option to excel but no import option.

The comment section in the grade section should have an active cut, copy and paste function.
