Letter Grading to Numerical Value

  • Hello

    In the UK for some courses we have a strange grading systesm, is there a way for a letter to have a numerical value assigned.

    Basically a
    D is 100, a M being 50 and a P being 25, finally a NYP being 0.

    So the students see the letter in their gradebook, yet it has a number value so it works in graphs?

    LOVE this plugin, I have been searching for this for AGES!

    Thanks

    Hi ChrisMore3,

    I misunderstood your question. It seems that you’d like to enter letter grades D, M, P, and NYP and have GradeBook translate them into numerical values when rendering statistic views. This is not difficult to implement but most instructors want numerical values translated to letter grades. This is what I had initially thought you were describing. I think this is the right approach and so for the time being letter grade to numerical values will not be added. It is an interesting idea, and will add it to the list of requested features.
