Manually grading an assignment

Question:

 I am in the grade entry grid and I cant type in the points for each student. There is something about a calculated grade.

Answer:

The problem is Gradebook is trying to auto-grade an assignment for you.  To enter in the points yourself you will have to change the settings on the assignment to manual.  To do that go to Manage > Gradebook > Assignments. Find the assignment you want to edit and click the settings link on the right hand side.  On the right side of the page next to Calculation Method: change the drop down to "Manual."  Click save and you should be able to manually enter grades now.
