The Grading Scale for Total Grade allows the instructor to assign a
grading scale for the total course grade. By default, no grading scale
is used, and the students see only a percentage score. The default
grading scale is a conventional A, B, C, etc., scale using standard
percentage breakpoints. The sliders on the scale, however, can be
moved and renamed; you can also add or remove sliders to set practically
any scale desired. The labels on the sliders, which are used as grade
notations, are limited to a few letters or numbers; to set the label,
click on the existing label, type in the new label, then press your
"Return" key.
Use the options above the grading scale to set whether the scale will
be used or not, and who will see it. Even if the scale is not used,
the graph will be populated as a histogram, giving a useful illustration
of the distribution of students' scores.
