Points to Percentage Grading on Assignments

[ageitner]

I am a percentage grader, but I have vocabulary assignments where I assign students terms to define. I want to award points for correct definitions. For example, if the assignment has 8 terms. I want enter 8. 8/8 is 100%. When I try to do this it is giving a percentage of 8%. the grade reads .64/8. which is a grade of 8%.

I am unsure why it is doing this? I have attached a screenshot of how the assignment grading is set up and a screenshot of the speedgrader where I entered 8 as points earned and it returned a grade of 8% which is out of 100.

Hi @ageitner,

You likely just need to change the "enter grades as" setting to points instead of percentage for that assignment.  Once you do that, you should be able to enter 8 and have it count as 8 points (100%) instead of 8 percent.

Let us know if this works for you!
