Hi everyone,

Currently, on Gingko I can define only 5 final grading letters (F, D, C, A and B) for my course. But I need 10 of them (A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, D, and F). Is there anyone to have a solution for this?

Thanks,

Liubov Fomicheva

Hello Ege,

  Grading settings are limited only by Studio interface, but you can add more grade cutoffs manually by exporting your course to OLX, editing file course/policies/course/grading_policy.json and importing the resulting course back (NB: existing course would be replaced and any progress lost, do so only before course start date!). For your case cutoffs would look like this:
<..grader settings...>
    "GRADE_CUTOFFS": {
        "A": 0.95,
        "A-": 0.9,
        "B+": 0.85,
        "B": 0.8,
        "B-": 0.75,
        "C+": 0.7,
        "C": 0.65,
        "C-": 0.6,
        "D": 0.5
    }
<...>

  (F added automatically).
  After the import grading in Studio wouldn't be fully editable (deletion/renaming only), but Progress page for learners in LMS would be displayed correctly.

Hope that helps,
  Liubov

Hello Liubov,

Thanks for the help. It's definitely a good starting point for me. Do you know the reason behind the '5 grade cutoff' limit?
Maybe I can send a PR to upstream to allow users to define more grade cutoffs from the interface.

Hello Ege,

  I don't know the exact reasoning behind cutoff limits (except common practice in using A-F grades), these values are hardcoded in JavaScript view. You may either support your own version with extended grading or talk to edX team about this limitation — our team never used more than two cutoffs actually.

Kind regards,
  Liubov
