Points only turn into a grade, such as an IB 1 to 7, when the class has a task grade scale. Open the class, go to Tasks > Manage Task Grade Scales, select Add New and set up the scale.
For teachers: show a grade for tasks you mark with points, check why a low score shows as a grade, and help students find the scale.
Add a task grade scale
Open the class and go to Tasks.
-
In the Details panel, select Manage Task Grade Scales.
The Details panel with Manage Task Grade Scales. -
Select Add New and set up the scale, for example 1 to 7.
The Task Grade Scales page. Save the scale.
Tasks with Points turned on then show the converted grade next to the points.
Why a score of 0 shows as a grade of 1
The grade comes from the task grade scale for that task category. If the scale has no 0 band, very low scores are given the lowest grade on the scale, such as 1.
To show 0, edit the class task grade scales and add a 0 band. You can do this for all task categories or only for specific ones.
How students see the scale
On any graded task, students can expand the Task Grade Scale link in the sidebar to see the scale table.
