Instructors have a greater level of precision and transparency in calculations, so they can choose to round up as appropriate when giving a final grade or in compliance with institutional policies that support rounding up.
The GPA scores will appear automatically in the second column you have created. Important: Blackboard uses standard default percentages when calculating letter grades. If you would like to modify these percentages (to add a curve, for example), you will need to modify the Letter schema.
Under the Select Columns section, click on a column or category to include in the weighted grade. Use the arrow to move the selected column or category to the Selected Columns area. Enter the percentage of the overall grade for the column or category. Next to Calculate as Running Total, select either Yes or No.Mar 30, 2020
