How do I add a grading scheme to an assignment?
You can add a grading scheme to customize assignment grading. You can use grading schemes created by your institution, grading schemes created or you can create a new grading scheme.
Notes:
- When an assignment is part of selected content in a course export, the grading scheme for the assignment will also be imported.
- Using an account-level grading scheme built by your institution links the scheme into your course—it does not import as a new scheme on the course level.
