Grading Schemas

Grades are displayed by default as numeric in the Gradebook and on the Submissions page for your assessments. You can choose to display grades in different ways with grading schemas.

The default grading schemas available are:

• Points.

• Percentage.

• Complete/incomplete.

• Letter.

A schema takes the points scored on an item and compares them to the total points possible to calculate a percentage. This can be mapped to a score range and displayed as a grade, such as a letter (A, B, C) or Pass/Fail. 

You can have up to 100 grading schemas per module.
