Rounding Up Final Letter Grade

2 comments

Suppose I have a student with a final percentage grade of 89.7%. My gradebook is set up so that this would be a B+, and if I switch the view to letter grade it really does show up as a B+. So far so good. But let's say that I want to round all the final grades to the nearest percent. I go into Settings and change the number of decimal places for rounding to 0 instead of 1. If I now switch the view to letter grade instead of percent, this student does indeed show up as 90%. However, the letter grade is still a B+ instead of an A-.

 

Is there any way to have the gradebook change the final letter grade in response to the rounding operation?

Hi Julie,

 

Yes you are correct, thank you for catching that error. I have submitted this issue and will have an update shortly.

This has now been fixed for all newly created GradeBooks.

    How to use weights?

    This school year I've been using the Google Classroom mark book. For my class I have four categories, each one of them counting as 25% of the final grade. Each assignment in a given category is weighted according to the number of points. The Google Classroom mark book correctly calculates the final grade. I am trialing the GradeBook for Google Sheets, but after importing the same classroom into the gradebook, and setting up the categories, total points etc. the final grade is way lower than it should be. Why?

    Grade Discrepancy

    For three of the four classes that I have, there is a vast discrepancy between the Final Grade that appears in GradeBook for Google Sheets and the Overall Grade in Google Classroom. For the fourth class, the grade is close but not exact. Please advise soonest.

    grade inconsistency/duplicate student

    I've already noticed that there is a big gap between the grades on Google Classroom and those on Gradebook but I'm also noticing that the first student in the class is repeated so I'm wondering if that might be why?
