To fill out and prepare a grade book, follow these steps:

1. Gather necessary information: Collect the names of students enrolled in the class, their identification numbers (if applicable), and any additional details required for grading purposes.
2. Create categories: Determine the grading categories for the class, such as assignments, quizzes, exams, projects, participation, etc. It is important to establish the weightage of each category based on their significance to the overall grade.

7. Calculate grades: Use the established grading scale and system to calculate the grades for each student. Take into account the points earned and the weightage assigned to each grading category.
8. Review and verify: Carefully review the grade book for accuracy, checking for any input errors or miscalculations. Double-check that all assignments and scores are accounted for and properly recorded.
