Page Comparison

When an item is graded in your course, a numeric score appears as the grade by default. Grades appear in the gradebook, on Grades pages, and in your course with the graded items for students, such as assignments and tests. 

For each graded item and calculation, you can choose to display grades as points, letters (A, B, C), or a percentage with the grading schema. A schema takes the points scored on an item and compares it to the item's total points possible to derive a percentage. This percentage is mapped to a range of scores and displays a grade, such as a letter. 

Edit or Add Grading Schemas

1. Access your Ultra course and select the gradebook from the top right menu.
   
   
   
   
2. Click the gear icon to access the gradebook settings.
   
   
   
   

3. Select Manage Grading Schemas. 
   
   

   Note
   The Letter schema is the default in an Ultra course. However, converting an Original course to Ultra might reset this schema to Incomplete/Complete. You can rename or remove grading schemas as needed. Schema titles have a 64-character limit. The name change appears in the Grade using menu when you create graded items and in existing graded items.

   
   

4. Select the grading schema on the left to edit, or, select Add to create a new schema.
   
   
   
5. Click the purple (+) to add a new row to the schema or click the "..." to edit or remove a row. At least two rows must remain for the schema to be valid, and you can't delete the last row.
   
   
   
   

6. When you add or delete rows or edit values in the schema, the remaining rows and values adjust when you save. The system ensures that no numeric gaps exist in the schema. The system also displays an error message when you type an invalid number. Save the schema periodically and re-open to see your changes.

   
   

7. Click the purple X in the top left corner of the panel to close the gradebook settings.
