Create pass/fail, plus/minus, straight letter grade, and other grade scales to use for course and objective scoring.
Create and edit grade scales
To create a grade scale or edit existing scales:
- Open the Editor tool.
- Select Tools in the Header Menu and then Course settings.
- Under Grade scales, select Add grade scale.
- With the grade scale editor, you are asked to:
- Name the grade scale.
- Choose the Type of scoring you want to use (Points, Percent (%), Percentile (class rank), or Distribution).
- Name each possible grade (P and F in the example) and define the minimum score a student must earn to receive each (70 for P in example). Select Add bracket to create additional rows.
- Select Done to save and your new or edited grade scale appears in the Course grade scale and Objective grade scale drop-down menus.
- Select Save.
Select a course-wide grade scale
- Open the Editor tool.
- Select Tools in the Header Menu and then Course settings.
- The Gradebook options and Objective mastery cards include Grade Scale drop-down menus where you can choose the desired scale for each; all of the available grade scales appear as options.
- Select Save.
Select a grade scale for one activity
At times, you may want to change the grade scale for one specific activity without impacting the course-wide grade scale. To do so:
- Select the Editor tool from a Course Card or from the Main Menu.
- Within the Syllabus, select the assignment and then select the pencil (edit) icon.
- On the Gradebook settings card of the Settings tab, choose Letter grade from the Score entry drop-down.
- Open the Grade scale drop-down that appears below Score entry and select the desired grade scale. The Grade scale drop-down only works when Letter grade is selected in the Score entry drop-down.
- Select Save.
