THE PROGRADE SYSTEM will scale any or all assignments either UP or
DOWN. Choose M at the ASSIGNMENT.GRADE entry area to get the
MODIFICATION MENU and choose scaling. THE PROGRADE
SYSTEM provides two distinct methods of scaling. The first ADDS
(subtracts) a certain percent of the total (say 5% or 10%) to each
student's grade for that particular assignment. This procedure
benefits students with lower grades more than those with higher
grades. The second method MULTIPLIES each student's grade by a
certain factor, to increase (decrease) that grade by say 5% or 10%.
With this method, all students are scaled an equal PER CENT of the
GRADE THEY ALREADY HAVE. A student with a zero grade would gain
nothing. Give careful consideration to which scaling procedure to
use. An example follows.
ORIGINAL ADD TO SCALE 10% MULTIPLY TO SCALE 10%
24/100 34/100 26/100
68/100 78/100 75/100
89/100 99/100 98/100
To scale grades downward, enter a negative factor such as -10.
