Tagging students

You can use tags to identify groups or categories of students. SMART Response software uses the

tags to sort student results when you generate class performance reports. For example, if you assign

the tags “Senior” and “Junior” to the students, SMART Response software adds a chart to the report,

with one bar for each of the two tags.

You can assign multiple tags to a student by separating the tags with a semicolon (;), for example

“Senior;Honors” and “Junior;Honors”. In this case, SMART Response software adds a chart to the

report, with three bars (one each for “Senior”, “Junior” and “Honors”).

You can also create tag subcategories by separating the tags with a colon (:). An example would be

“Gender:Male” and “Gender:Female”. In this case, SMART Response software generates a single

report section for “Gender” showing data grouped in “Male” and “Female” subcategories.

Changing a class's passing grade

When you create a class list, you define the passing grade for the class. You can change that grade
