The student history view for the selected student opens showing a list of worksheets and a graphic display representing activity in the operations and problem types specified.

All worksheets that have been checked for the selected student are displayed in order of the dates they were checked, with the most recent at the top of the list. The first column shows the date that the worksheet was checked, the second column tells if the worksheet was for the purpose of diagnosis or for practice, the third column tells how many problems were on the worksheet, and the fourth column shows the percentage of all problems correct. Each chart shows different colors for different information, depending on the selection of problem types and operations.

All problem types (Student History)

When the individual student history view shows all operations and all problem types, you can easily determine the operations and problem types that have been on worksheets corrected for that student.

Student History-All Problem Types

The chart graphically shows activity as follows:

Blue indicates student activity in that operation and problem type on that worksheet.

Grey indicates that worksheet had no activity in that operation.

Double click the name of one of the problem types on the Student History view, to View that student's history showing one problem type, all operations.

Student History- One Problem Type- All Operations

Double Click any rectangle toview the worksheet history for one operation and one problem type for the student.

When the Student History view shows one problem type, the chart shows colored boxes that explain the student's level of competence achieved at any skill level in any operation.

Student History- One Problem Type- One Operation

On the chart, each rectangle of the bar represents one skill level. The color of each square represents each student's achievement at that level on the corresponding worksheet:

Dark green: The student demonstrated competence at this skill level
Light green: The student may be competent at this skill level
Yellow: The student needs practice at this skill level
Light red: The student may need direct instruction at this skill level
Dark red: The student needs direct instruction at this skill level
Light gray: The worksheet did not have problems at this skill level

Click on any of the colored rectangles to see a skill definition, example problem, and a summary of the student's performance for that skill level on that worksheet. See "Defining Criteria for Data Analysis" for directions for setting the criteria for these status definitions.
