By default, Blackboard will have the SU Letter grading schema already created and ready for use within your course. If you wish to use a different grade schema, follow the instructions below. 

Steps:

1. Click the " Add" button located in the upper left.

2. When the pop up menu appears, type your preferred title.

3. Click "Add"  to save and create a table for the new grade schema. 

Once you have created a new grade schema template, you can now edit the table to fit your needs.

Let's create an example schema to adhere to the following grading scale:

A = 90%-100%

B = 80%-90%

C = 70%-80%

D = 60%-70%

F = 0%-60%

When you create a new Grade Schema, the table that is created will only have two rows  with the Grade name "A" and "F" and the Grade Range % as "50%-100%" and "0%-50%" respectively.

The grading scale example above shows that you need five different rows in the table so you will need to add three rows, hovering the mouse between the two existing rows until the plus sign appears and clicking the plus sign three times. 

Once the rows are added, type the needed "Grade Name" for each respective row.

In our current example, we will name these rows "B," "C," and "D" (as rows "A" and "F" already exist within the table).

To edit the Grade Range %, either click the three dots to the right of the row to open the "Edit" option, or simply click on the percentage that you want to edit and an editable text box will appear.

Please note that only the lower bound percent of the grade range can be edited. The upper bounds will automatically adjust to reflect your changes, as shown in the screen grab to the right. 

When all edits are made, click the black "Save" button in the lower right hand corner.
