Grade Preference Templates

Modified on Tue, Apr 23, 2024 at 1:50 PM

Warning: Grade Templates are not assignment specific.  Making changes to a grade template will apply the change to every assignment the template is assigned to.  It is NOT recommended that you change grade templates or modify a grade template on an active assignment (between the start date and due date when students can enter answers to problems) because it can cause unexpected results.  If you wish to modify a grade template for a specific assignment, it is recommended that you create a new grading template and apply it to the assignment before the start date.


The Grade Preferences area can be found by hovering over Instructor in the blue bar at the top of the screen.


After clicking on Grade Preferences, you will be presented with the screen below.


On the left side of the Grade Preferences screen, is the Grade Preference Templates panel.  This is where you can add grade preference templates for different grading needs (example: quizzes, homework, and exams).


To create a new Grade Preference Template:

  1. Click on the drop-down menu under Grade Preference Templates and select Add Template
  2. Next, a pop-up window will appear where you will enter a name for the new grade template and click Save to add it to your Grade Preference Templates panel or click Cancel to return to the Grade Preference screen without creating a template.
  3. After you have saved the new template name, you will click on that name in the Grade Preference Templates panel to edit your preferences.  The individual settings will be gone over in greater detail in additional articles.
