Setting the Grade Range
You
must determine the academic standard of your course. It is up to you whether it
requires a pass or fail, or if students should be assigned letter grades based
on their performance between A and F.
The Grade Range control can be accessed at the top of the Grading page.
- To add a grade to your report, click on the + icon.
A
new grade has been established between the existing grades. The default setting
now includes an F (0 to 50), B (50-75), and A (75-100). This adjustment allows for a wider range of criteria when evaluating
academic performance:
- To manipulate your grading range, position the cursor over the dividing line between two grades and then drag it in either direction.
Observe the varying numerical values of neighboring grades flanking the line, and when it is in a desired position deselect it.
- To alter the title of a grade, select its existing name and then enter your desired alternate. For instance, if 'Pass' was originally displayed you may choose to type in 'Excellent' as an alternative.
F or Fail cannot be
changed.
- To erase a score, move your cursor until it is on top of the grade.
A Remove link is provided above the grade which should be selected.
F or A cannot be removed.
Once you have amended the grade range, be sure to hit Save Changes at the bottom of this page.
