A marking scale is a numeric range according to which your students will be graded. Each country has its own specified grading system, ranging e.g. from 1-4, 1-10, 1-100 etc. With Classter, you can set a different marking scale for each subject. Additionally, Classter gives you the ability to create marking scenarios. Marking scenarios are created to group marking criteria together so you can apply multiple criteria to subjects by choosing a marking scenario, which helps in cases were subjects follow the same marking methods.
Let’s see now how a teacher can change the marking scale for a subject.
To set up a marking scale for one subject, from the configuration menu, go to Main Settings → Subjects → List of Subjects. (Figure 1)
