Hi everyone!
I am stuck and in need of help! I have an instructor who created a marking guide for an assignment out of 5. There are 5 levels, each is out of 1. She would like to be able to give students a mark of 0, 0.25, 0.5 or 1 for each level.
No matter what I do, I cannot make it add up properly. I created custom scales, tweaked those scales but for the life of me I cannot make it add up right.
The scale I have right now looks like this: 0, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2, 2.25, 2.5, 2.75, 3, 3.25, 3.5, 3.75, 4, 4.25, 4.5, 4.75, 5
The thing that boggles my mind the most is the math. For example:
Student 1 should get 3.5, they get 2.5
Student 2 should get 4.75, they get 3.5
Student 3 should get 3.75, they get 2.75
Student 4 should get 1.75, they get 1.25.
Some are off by only .25, some are off by 1.25. Any suggestions on how to make this work? I know they can just override the final mark in the grader report to show proper math, but that defeats the purpose. Their curriculum is set by the government, so they cannot change it to be out of more than just 1 per level and 5 for the assignment.
Anyone??
