Use MicroGrade's comment codes to store additional notes about your students. You can use the same code for all students (for example, "Asks a lot of questions") or you can create codes that are student-specific (such as, Possible candidate for gifted program). Up to 32 different comment codes (up to 255 characters) for each class can be created and each student can receive up to 16 comments. Comment codes can be included in MicroGrade's Student Summary and Free Format reports.

1. From the Students menu, choose Define Comment Codes. The Define Comment Codes dialog will display. The three drop-down menus at the top of the dialog include class information in the comment code.
   NOTE: If you are creating a new class and have not yet entered any scores, you will only see two drop down menus.
2. Click on the New radio button in the Edit Mode box in the bottom right corner of the dialog.
3. Click inside the text box in the upper half of the dialog, then choose First name from the Student drop-down menu. Type a space, followed by any pertinent information, then click Return.
4. To save the comment code, click Enter.
5. The Comment Code will be assigned a number and will appear in the bottom half of the dialog.
6. To exit the dialog, click OK.
