Grading for Not-for-Credit Courses

To Enable Grading in a Course

  1. Click Settings. The Course Details page opens.
  2. Scroll to find Grading Scheme.
  3. Click the check box next to "Enable course grading scheme".
  4. Click the View grading scheme link.
  5. Select the appropriate grading scheme for your course
    1. For standard catalog courses where the student must get 100% on everything, select the "Complete/Incomplete Master Grading Scheme".
    2. For STEM courses, especially those which contain significant amounts of autograding, the Complete/Incomplete scheme is not often used. Usually one of the 75-90% schemes are used. Which one depends on the difficulty of your assignments and reasonable likelihood of a student achieving the threshold specified. This should be decided in consultation with the ID, Faculty Author, and Program Facilitation Manager.
  6. Click Use This Grading Scheme.
  7. Click Done.
  8. Click Update Course Details.
