I did a preliminary search on this and can't find anything in the forums or bug tracker...
We are using v.1.9.7
Gradebook letter grades are set as per the attached screenshot. Specifically, the value in question is: 80.99 - 77.00 = B-
The student's grade is 5.39/7 which equals 77% which should be recorded as a B-. The gradebook is displaying C+ when it should be B- (see screenshot)
Anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening? Is this bug-tracker worthy??
Thanks
for some reason I couldn't insert another attachment so here is the other screenshot:
What does it show if you display letter and percentage?
Still wrong. C+ (77.00000 %) I would hope that just changing the display wouldn't change the letter grade associated...
In the interim our instructor has modified the grade to read 5.40 instead of 5.39 to bump the letter grade up to a B- but it frightens me that the letter grades are not calculting correctly and I hope there are not too many other instances as that is a significant grade difference for a student.
I was going to report it as a bug but wanted tomake sure I wasn't missing something obvious ... like I'm know to do from time-to-time
That was just to see if the gradebook calcs the 5.39 as 77%. So that we learn more, what does it show if you enter 5.11? 5.11 should be 73% of 7 and hence show C+. But if the problem is systematic it should show C. And with a few more instances it could be generalized into a bug. If that's the case and until the potential bug is fixed, you could try as a workaround to modify the letter grade scale such that lowest are decreased by 0.01 and highest are increased by 0.01.
5.11 displays as 73% and accurately records as C+
my "wild hair" guess is that the 5.39 is actually 5.38xxx which is enough to draw the actual, unrounded percentage below 77%
Hi Bob,
In my mock up I typed 5.39 into the gradebook manually. I don't understand what you mean when you say 5.39 is actually 5.38xxxx.
Created tracker issue: http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-25645
I think mine is the same problem. Letter grades being displayed one level lower
