   Note
   title An explanation of how Blackboard interprets a schema setup
   A student will have the letter grade of D recorded if the grade entered is between 60% up to not including 70%. The only difference would be the letter grade of A; it would be a grade that is between 90% up to and including 100% and would be recorded as an A. The percentage range given for each grade value must begin with the lesser value listed first. The values must also overlap. For example. A = 90-100%, B= 80-90%, C= 70-80% and so on. Ranges must be set up this way to avoid gaps that could occur when a score falls between two numbers in the range. Setting up scores that will be recorded when entering a grade manually. If an instructor types in the letter A for a student's grade, the student would receive a 95% for their grade.
