Grades as points or percentages/letters

Your instructor decides whether the MyLab displays assignment grades in the gradebook as percentages or the number of points earned.

Percentage grades are based on 100%, and the gradebook displays these grades as numbers or letters, for example 90 or A–.
Point grades can range from 0.00 to 1000, and the gradebook displays the number of points you earned out of the maximum number of points possible. For example, if an assignment is worth 120 points and the instructor gives you 90 points, the Gradebook displays the grade as 90/120.

As another example, assume your instructor created a composition assignment with two drafts. The first draft is worth 20 points and the second draft is worth 50 points. The maximum number of points you can earn on this assignment is 70.

Now assume that you earned 20 points on the first draft and 40 on the second. The gradebook would display the grade as follows:

Points: When displaying grades as points, the gradebook would show the grade as 60/70.
Percentages: When displaying grades as percentages, the gradebook would show the grade as 86. Or, if your instructor is using letter grades, the grade would be B.

Note: Displaying grades as points applies only to assignments. The MyLab scores all Resource exercises on a percentage basis, with 100 being the highest score.
