FAQ
What should I do first after opening the program? 1. Get started
by defining your semester dates. All appointments and assignments must fall within
these parameters. 2. Save your program under a defining semester name such
as "Fall 2006". When you open PLP - Grading & Scheduling next time,
just click "Open Semester File" and choose "Fall 2006" in
the File menu. 3. Next you will need to enter student information for each
student. Go to Add/View/Edit Students, enter info for your first student
and click Add Next Student before continuing, or Save to exit. 4.
Next you can enter student lesson times, meetings, classes, appointments, etc.
into your schedule, and create assignments. How do I enter lesson grades? Go
to Grade Book/New Assignments. Lessons are treated as assignments and should
be entered as 1 assignment that all of your students will need to complete each
week. The Date Due should be the first day of each week of lessons and
could correlate with the week number (#1....#52) from The Student Log Book section
called Weekly Lesson Logs. Asssignments are assigned a point value by you for
each new assignment type. So if you decide that all lessons will be worth 10 points
each, then lessons dated the week of August 29th would be worth a maximum of 10
points. You would then go to Add/View/Edit Assignment Grades to give points
to students for each assignment or lesson. My Student Payment Window
is showing multiple lessons on the same date and time for one of my students,
how do I fix this? This student has a multiple recurring series. The button
for "Make this a Recurring Series" was clicked more than once when you
were setting up appointments. This problem can be fixed by eliminating the extra
series. |
