    • Grading System
      • grading weighted example.png - Under the 'weighted' system, grade categories are assigned a weight as a percentage of the final grade, and grade items are assigned a weight as a percentage of their parent category (or of the final grade if they have no parent category).
      • grading points radio button example.png - Under the 'points' system, items are given a worth of points. Categories are then weighted by the sum of the points of their child items and the final grade becomes the total number of points of all the items.
      • grading formula radio button.png - Under the 'formula' system items are given a worth in points and then a custom -defined formula determines how they contribute to the calculated final grade.

    • Final Grade Released
