To test in Sandbox, first select new Grading Scale
Instruction -> Assignments -> Edit Grade Calc Options
Change Grading Scale
Select “Grading Committee Scale 1: 1-5” or “Grading Committee Scale 2: 50-100”
If you select “Grading Committee Scale 1: 1-5”, continue scoring assignments by
recording the total number of points received by the student
Note the In Progress grades are
calculated using the new 1-5 scale
For example, on this homework
assignment, students received
19/20, 16/20, 18/20, etc.
When a teacher posts grades at the end of a grading task, IC will
post the % scores, but the teacher will need to manually assign the
appropriate letter grade to be posted to the report card, transcript
This is a slight inconvenience for teachers at the end of each grading task and
an unfortunate consequence of using different score groups for in-progress
grades and posted grades.
If you select “Grading Committee Scale 2: 50-100”, continue scoring assignments
by recording the total number of points received by the student
Note the In Progress grades are
calculated using the letter grades
associated with the 50-100 scale
If a student receives less than 50% of the total available points, the score will
be converted via a nightly script to a value equal to 50% of the total points.
In this example, the student originally received only 5/18 on this assignment
before the script increased the score to 9/18. The script will also record the
original score as a comment for the student on the given assignment.
Using the 50-100 scale, Posted Grades will automatically be assigned
the appropriate letter grade by IC
