Course group with multiple grading scales

Postby momofangels on Sun Jan 02, 2011 11:33 pm

Is it possible to have a course group with the courses in it being different grading scales?

For example Language arts: We do grammar which is a,b,c scale, punctuation which is a,b,c and composition which would be E,S,NI,F

Or math, we use math u see which is the a,b,c grading scale and timed tests which is pass fail.

Is there a way to do this?

The purpose of the Course Group is for the Report Card - to display one grade per course group, otherwise if you want a separate grade for a different course, then do not group them. One course group needs to have only one grading scale so that it will get one grade at the end of each term.

I understand that. I want the core math to include the math u see and the timed test as one math grade. My problem is that the timed test is a pass/fail sort of thing. So how would you suggest I grade the pass/fail with the grouping since the MUS is the a,b,c scale?

Perhaps you can make your own scale for the timed test - change to percentage (number of correct/number of total possible) then record the % then use the abc scale.
