Grade schemes allow you to customize how levels of achievement are displayed to students in the gradebook. You can use the default scheme (Percentage), or select a custom scheme.<\/p>\n

What is a Grade Scheme?<\/h3>\n

*The information below is from the D2L Grading Schemes<\/a> documentation\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

A grade scheme enables you to organize students’ performances on grade items into levels of achievement. A grade scheme can include any number of achievement levels. Each achievement level has its own range of acceptable grades and a symbol, such as a numeric value, letter, or text description, to represent it. You can set up grade schemes in the Setup Wizard or on the Schemes page of your gradebook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/colgroup>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
