Setting the Grade

• Take points off by either using the negative number stamps OR starting a text comment with a negative number
• Click “Assign Grade”
  • Tests without computer graded sections
    • If the auto set grade setting is on, the sum of the points off out of 100 will be set by default. (see Image 3)

    • If the test uses a number other than 100 for total points, enter that total in the 3rd box and the text of the “Set points: ” button will update to the entered total minus the absolute value of the sum of the negative number comments. (see Image 4)
      • 50 total points – 17.5 points off = 32.5
