5 Easy Steps to Do the Famous Excel Assignment Sheet

Updated: May 22, 2023

Keeping up with the college schedule can be hard, especially when your university, like mine, works on a quarter system.

At the beginning of my first year, I thought using a calendar/agenda and pen would work just as great as it did in high school, but I quickly realized that most professors give out all assignments at the beginning of the term and don't remind you before the deadline. I was overwhelmed with so many assignments that I barely had time to study; everything was pilling up.

One of my roommates said that she stayed organized with a color-coded excel sheet for all assignments of the term. I later noticed that it was a trend for people to use this method, however, when I asked my friends about it, most of them wanted to do it but didn't know how to.

I had to learn how to do it myself and ended up using it for my entire freshman year. So far, it has worked wonderfully, so I figured I would share how to do it so everyone can give it a try.

Step 1. Color Coding

In this 1st step, you will decide which colors you'll be using for each subject.

Here, for example, I have my six classes abbreviated, and I colored each one differently: Linguistics is orange, Techniques of Speaking is blue and so on...

Step 2. Writing Down the Assignments

Every university has their own system regarding how assignments are given out, for example, Drexel University uses a syllabus system. Each professor will hand out a syllabus for their class at the beginning of the year, where inside, the student can find all the deadlines and assignments for the term.

Write down all the details of each assignment in the excel sheet. Add the class name, the # of the week in which it is due, the complete due date, the name of the assignment, and the status (blank or done) **more on this later.

Repeat this step for each class.

excel assignments for college students

Step 3. Adding Color

This step is very simple. Select all the cells for each subject and add the color you decided on for that class. Here is how mine looks so far:

excel assignments for college students

Step 4. Organizing by Due Date

To organize our sheet by due date, we must sort *custom sort* the entire chart.

Select the entire chart, every column and every line. All the assignments, no matter the class.

Right click and select *sort* - *custom sort*.

excel assignments for college students

Clicking on *custom sort* must have opened the sort window.

There, you'll see a list that says column, sort by. column A. You must click on the list and change the column to the column in which your due dates are listed on.

For example: my due dates are on column D, so I change the list that says "column A" to "column D."

Next, there's a list that says sort on, values. This will remain the same so leave it at "values."

The last list says order, oldest to newest. This will also remain the same. **If yours says something different, simply click on the list and a drop down menu will pop up where you can select the option "oldest to newest."

excel assignments for college students

When your "sort" window looks like this, click on *ok* to make the changes. It will organize your assignments by due date and not by class.

Step 5. Using It

The final step is to use your excel sheet, and every time you have completed an assignment, on the column status write the word "done."

"done" means you have finished the assignment.

Then, once you have turned in the assignment, you can cross off the entire line.

How to cross something of:

Shortcut in Windows computer: select the cells you want to cross off, then click Ctrl + 5.

Shortcut in Mac computer: select the cells you want to cross off, then click Command + Shift + X.

Normal way in any computer: select the cells you want to cross off, then click on the bottom right corner of the "font" section.

excel assignments for college students

Once the "format cells" window has opened on the "font" section, select the *strikethrough* option under "effects."

excel assignments for college students

Then click on *ok* to make the changes.

After a while of using your chart, it will start looking like this.

excel assignments for college students

Make sure to add any new assignments to the chart by simply inserting a new line, changing its color and organizing it by due date. Simply repeat the 5 steps.

I hope this was helpful to keep up with your college schedule. Thank me later ;)

Excel Tutorial: How To Compute Grades In College Using Excel

Introduction.

Welcome to our Excel tutorial on how to compute grades in college using Excel! As college instructors, we understand the time-consuming nature of grading assignments, quizzes, and exams. Excel can be a powerful tool to streamline this process, saving you time and reducing errors. In this tutorial, we will show you step-by-step how to use Excel to calculate grades, track student progress, and generate insightful reports.

Key Takeaways

  • Using Excel for computing grades can save time and reduce errors for college instructors
  • Creating a well-organized grade book in Excel is essential for efficient grade tracking
  • Excel formulas and conditional formatting can be used to calculate and visualize grades effectively
  • Generating grade reports using Excel functions can provide valuable insights into student performance
  • Efficient grade computing practices, such as utilizing shortcuts and regular updates, can further streamline the process

Creating a Grade Book in Excel

Using Excel to compute grades in college can be a convenient and efficient way to keep track of student performance. By setting up a grade book in Excel, you can easily calculate scores, organize data, and generate final grades. Follow the steps below to create a grade book in Excel.

A. Open a new Excel spreadsheet

To begin, open a new Excel spreadsheet on your computer. You can do this by opening Excel and selecting "Blank Workbook" from the template options. This will create a new, empty spreadsheet for you to work with.

B. Label the columns for student name, assignment scores, exam scores, and final grade

Once you have your blank spreadsheet open, it's time to label the columns. In the first row of the spreadsheet, enter the following headers in separate cells: Student Name , Assignment Scores , Exam Scores , and Final Grade . These labels will serve as the categories for the data you will input.

C. Format the cells for neat and organized presentation

After labeling the columns, you can format the cells to ensure a neat and organized presentation. You can adjust the width of the columns to fit the content, change the font style and size for better readability, and apply borders or background colors for visual appeal. By formatting the cells, you can create a professional-looking grade book that is easy to navigate and understand.

Entering and Calculating Grades

When it comes to managing grades for a college course, Excel can be a powerful tool. It allows you to easily input student scores, calculate final grades, and ensure accuracy in the process. Here are the steps to efficiently compute grades using Excel:

  • Step 1: Open a new Excel workbook and create a new worksheet for the specific course for which you want to compute grades.
  • Step 2: Input the student names in the first column and their corresponding assignment and exam scores in the following columns.
  • Step 3: Make sure to label each column with clear headers for easy reference.
  • Step 1: Decide on a grading scale for the course, such as 90-100% for an A, 80-89% for a B, and so on.
  • Step 2: Create a new column to calculate the total weighted score for each student. You can use the SUM function to add together the scores for all assignments and exams, applying any necessary weightings.
  • Step 3: Utilize conditional formatting or the IF function to automatically assign a letter grade based on the pre-determined grading scale.
  • Step 1: Once all the scores and formulas are inputted, double-check the calculations to ensure accuracy. This involves reviewing the formulas and cross-referencing them with the original scores to confirm everything adds up correctly.
  • Step 2: If necessary, you can also have a peer or another faculty member review the calculations to catch any potential errors.

Using Conditional Formatting for Grade Visualization

When computing grades in college using Excel, it's important to visualize the data in a way that makes it easy to interpret and analyze. Conditional formatting is a powerful tool that allows you to highlight passing grades in green and failing grades in red for easy identification. Additionally, you can use different colors or symbols to represent different grade ranges, such as A, B, C, D, and F.

A. Highlight the passing grades in green and failing grades in red for easy identification

Conditional formatting allows you to set up rules that automatically change the formatting of cells based on their content. By creating a rule that formats passing grades as green and failing grades as red, you can quickly scan the spreadsheet and identify which students are meeting the grade requirements and which ones need additional support.

B. Use different colors or symbols to represent different grade ranges (e.g., A, B, C, D, F)

For even more detailed visualization, you can create rules for different grade ranges, such as assigning a specific color or symbol to each letter grade. This makes it easy to see at a glance how students are performing and identify any trends or patterns in the data.

Generating Grade Reports

When it comes to computing grades in college using Excel, creating a clear and professional grade report is essential for both students and instructors. In this tutorial, we will walk through the steps to generate a comprehensive grade report using Excel.

A. Create a separate worksheet for the grade report

First and foremost, it's important to keep the grade report separate from the main data sheet to maintain organization and clarity. To do this, create a new worksheet within the Excel workbook specifically for the grade report.

B. Use Excel functions to generate statistics

Excel offers a range of functions that can be used to calculate and display important statistics for the grade report. This includes the class average, highest and lowest grades, and grade distribution. Utilize functions such as AVERAGE, MAX, MIN, and COUNTIF to compute these statistics.

C. Customize the layout and design of the grade report

Once the necessary statistics have been calculated, it's important to customize the layout and design of the grade report for a professional presentation. This can include formatting the data in a clear and easy-to-read manner, adding visual elements such as charts or graphs to represent the grade distribution, and adding headers, footers, and page numbers for a polished look.

Tips for Efficient Grade Computing

When it comes to computing grades in college using Excel, there are several tips that can help streamline the process and ensure accuracy.

A. Utilize shortcuts and autofill features to expedite the data entry process

  • Bold important cells and use keyboard shortcuts for common functions such as copying, pasting, and formatting cells. This will help save time and minimize manual entry errors.
  • Take advantage of Excel's autofill feature to quickly fill in recurring data such as student names or assignment titles.

B. Keep the grade book updated regularly to avoid last-minute calculations

  • Set aside dedicated time each week to update grades for assignments, quizzes, and exams. This will prevent the need for frantic last-minute calculations at the end of the semester.
  • Regularly reviewing and updating the grade book will also help identify any errors or discrepancies early on, allowing for prompt correction.

C. Back up the Excel file to prevent loss of important grade data

  • Regularly save and back up the Excel grade book to ensure that important grade data is not lost due to technical issues or accidental deletion.
  • Consider using cloud storage or external hard drives to create additional backups of the grade book.

Using Excel to compute grades in college offers numerous benefits, such as accuracy, efficiency, and simplicity. It allows for easy organization and manipulation of data, saving time and reducing the risk of errors. By mastering the use of Excel for academic purposes, students can develop a valuable skill that will also be beneficial in their professional careers.

I encourage readers to continue practicing and exploring the functionalities of Excel for a variety of academic and professional purposes. Whether it's for data analysis, project management, or financial forecasting, Excel is a versatile tool that can greatly enhance productivity and accuracy in various fields.

Organized Chaos: College Assignment Tracker

January 26, 2016 · College

Every student needs this college assignment tracker!

College assignments are such a headache! That’s why I made a college assignment tracker. This semester, though it feels late in the game as I will graduate this year, I decided to start the semester off right. To do this I created an assignment and readings spreadsheet to track the due dates of all my assignments and what I should be reading each day for each class. I’m going to share how I designed my assignment and reading tracker.

College Assignment Tracker_Modern Laine

I got the idea for a college assignment tracker from  Kirsten at Organized Charm and Dani at Dani Dearest . I think it’s amazing, however I changed it a little to fit my style and to include a reading tracker. As an English Major I read about 200 or more pages a week. Let me show and explain how I made and am using my assignment tracker.

NOTE: Set aside about 2 or 3 hours your first weekend back to school to go through your syllabuses and to set up the assignment spreadsheet. 

Trying to find the best way to manage your readings and assignments for college? Learn how to make a college assignment tracker now! Click To Tweet

STEP ONE: Gather Your Syllabuses and Highlighters 

The first step in making an assignment or reading tracker is to gather all of your class schedules and syllabuses. Go through each one, highlighting all big assignments like papers or tests. Once you’ve highlighted the important due dates and assignments then you’ve done one of the hardest parts.

STEP TWO: Create and Format your Spreadsheet

Create an Excel spreadsheet. Mine has four columns: Due Date, Class, Assignment and Points. This setup works best for me. I went through each syllabus and added the assignments. Once you made your spreadsheet begin to add your assignments. As I mentioned, I have a separate sheet for Assignments and another for Readings. With so many readings and assignments it felt to overwhelming the other way.

College Assignment Tracker_Modern Laine

STEP THREE: Organize your Spreadsheet

I recommend adding your assignments or readings by date and then if you have another assignment on the same date or a previous date just click the insert row button. For me this was the easiest way to do it, though Kirsten and Dani both suggest the AZ Sort function. I organize my sheet by month, but you might find it easier to organize by class or even week. For my reading list I added an extra row between each week just so it felt more manageable.

College Assignment and Reading Tracker_Modern Laine

STEP FOUR: Print & Staple

Once you’ve filled in your assignments check the print preview and make sure it all fits width wise on one sheet. You may have to play with font types or sized and the size of the columns until you get it just right. On my Readings sheet I deleted the Completed column because the readings are so long. In the end this worked out better as it is very easy to just highlight completed readings and the page doesn’t look super overwhelming.

You can also use it only on your computer or tablet. Microsoft makes an Excel for the iPad that I find easy to use and there is Google Sheets. These are both great options if you don’t want to print and keep track of your sheets as a hard copy or if you may have to add or change your sheets often.

Here are a few final tips:

  • Make the time to setup your college assignment tracker.  Sure, it is tedious, but 2 or 3 hours at the beginning of the semester is worth it when you think of all the studying, reading and assignments you have to do over the semester. Being prepared now will help you considerably later in the semester.
  • Actually use your assignment tracker!  This is a big point for me, because why go through the trouble of making a tracker if you don’t plan to keep up with it. I can tell you honestly that in the three weeks I’ve been in school this semester I have seen a major improvement in my stress level about assignments and readings.
  • Don’t go crazy with highlighting or color coding. I considered coloring coding my spreadsheet, but decided it against it because with five classes and five colors the sheets would just become overwhelming and pointless in relieving stress about my assignments. Instead just make sure to mark what course each reading or assignment is for and then use a highlighter when completed or use the strikethrough option if you’re keeping a virtual copy.
  • Adjust the format to fit your classes and style. There are many ways to set one of these up, just find what works for you. The only thing that matters is that you stick with it. This can’t work unless you make sure to use it. I’ve seeing a great improvement in my stress, time management and grades since creating and using my sheets.
  • Only put the most necessary information on your tracker. Page numbers and due dates are important. School holidays like Spring or Fall break are important or if you’re on a quarter instead of semester schedule, those dates are important. Sorority, work, club or other types of events? Those are probably best left for your day planner.
