Show percentages in gradebook with % symbol

  This idea has been developed and deployed to Canvas

 

  Idea will be open for vote Wed. August 5, 2015 - Wed. November 4, 2015  Learn more about voting...

At present, when an assignment receives a percentage grade, it is displayed in the gradebook without the percent sign. As below:

Clearly, this makes no sense and a percent sign should be used in this case! (Points to those of you who have a hard time looking that column in the face with a calm stomach.)

Deactivated user​, I'm sure this is the kind of thing that is parceled up in all of your current gradebook work, right?

This should be addressed as a bug, not a feature we have to vote on. From the screen shot in the request above, the test is out of 46 points, a "92" would actually 200%. That little % sign is pretty important in conveying that the actual score is 92%, not 92 points out of 46 possible.

I so very agree. Re-converting this into a ticket on my end, because of that bogosity level.
