Design a grading scheme

Steps

1. 1. Open the Grading Scheme tab

   Open the course and choose Grading Scheme. A new course offers starter templates grouped as Lecture & Theory, Laboratory & Practical, and Project & Research, or Start from scratch.

2. 2. Pick the closest starting point

   Choose a template only if it is close to your real course policy, for example Standard Theory, which sets Quizzes & Class Tests at 20%, Midterm Exam at 20% and Final Exam at 60%. Everything it fills in can be changed.

3. 3. Set the calculation style and categories

   Choose Weighted percentage or Total marks. For each category, set its name, weight or marks, the number of items, and how scores combine. Under How to combine scores, the editor explains how that choice turns item scores into the category's marks, using the category's own numbers. In weighted mode the weights must add up to exactly 100%.

4. 4. Set the grade scale

   Map final percentages to letter grades and GPA points, or load a preset scale and adjust its cutoffs. The Policy snapshot beside the editor shows a sample result as a percentage, letter grade and GPA, and the status card shows whether the policy is ready to save.

5. 5. Add pass rules if your course has them

   Under Pass rules (optional), choose + Add pass rule, pick a category and the minimum percentage a student needs in it, for example 40% in the Final Exam. A student who misses any rule gets the grade and GPA you set under Grade when a rule is not met, whatever their total. Leave this empty if your course has no such rule.

6. 6. Save the policy

   Select Save policy. LogBook saves the policy, creates the matching gradebook columns and shows the Grading Policy Summary, locked against accidental changes. Use Edit Scheme to change it later.
