How do I create a grading schema inside the Original Blackboard Grade Center?

Overview

In the Grade Center, when an item is graded, a numeric score appears in the students' cells by default. You can choose to display grades in other ways with grading schemas. 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 (A, B, C) or Pass/Fail. This information is presented in a table format.

You can associate the default grading schema with one or more columns in the Grade Center. When you grade items, the grade values (letters) appear in the cells in the Grade Center grid and to students in My Grades. You can choose not to show grades to students when creating or editing a column.

The Grade Center in an Original course includes a system copy of a default grading schema based on assigning letters to the percentages:

A = 90-100%
B = 80-90%
C = 70-80%
D = 60-70%
F = 0-60%

The default grading schema in Blackboard is not required by UMBC. Faculty can modify these values to tailor Blackboard's grading to their course's grading policy.
