Overgrading and Negative Grading
You can allow “overgrades” and “negative grades” to be entered on the Electronic
Gradebook for a Student page (bwlkegrb.P_FacIDShrmrksProc) and Electronic
Gradebook by Component page (bwlkegrb.P_FacGradeComponents).
• Overgrading allows marks to be entered that are greater than the “marked out of”
value, which is defined to be the maximum score. This allows faculty to assign
bonus points. For example, 110 out of 100 yields 10 bonus points.
• Negative grading allows marks to be entered that are negative numbers, resulting in
a negative percentage calculated, even if negative percentages are not valid on the
Grade Scale Definition Form (SHAGSCH). No grade is displayed for a component
with a negative score. A final composite grade is still calculated using the negative
value as the grade for the component, but only displayed if the resulting value is a
positive number. If the final grade value is negative, the value Composite
Calculated is displayed on the Enter Marks Form (BWLKEGRB) to show that the
final mark has been calculated, but no final grade is displayed for the student.
