Grade Schemas

Excerpt
This page provides information about accessing the Grade Schema settings, editing existing grade schemas, and examples of when adding new grade schemas may be useful and how to achieve this

Grading Schemas take the actual points scored from a Grade Item and compare it to the total points possible for that item to derive a percentage. This percentage is mapped to a range of scores in order to display a grade. (The Grade Center includes a copy of a default grading schema).

When a Grading Schema is employed, and depending on the grade display option, the Grade Center will translate the entry according to the Grading Schema and display the corresponding value.



Accessing Grade Schema Settings

Once in your Blackboard course, open the Gradebook tab of the navigation menu. Once in this tab, you will want to open the Gradebook settings by clicking the gear icon to the right of your screen underneath "Student Preview." This will open a sidebar menu panel. 


The first section of the Gradebook Settings is "Grade Schemas." In this section, find the link that reads "Manage Grade Schemas" and click to open the Grade Schema settings.
