What is the 'Adjust Grades' feature?

The ‘Adjust Grades’ feature lets you boost the overall average of an assessment by adding the same number of points to each student’s score - similar to applying a curve.

💡Akindi preserves the existing grade distribution.

It does not apply a bell curve or alter the relative performance of students - the same number of points will be added to each student.

How to Adjust Grades?

1. From your course dashboard click 'View Results'.

'View Results' button on dashboard

2. Go to the 'Responses' tab and click 'Adjust Grades'.

3. Enter the desired number of marks (points) you'd like to add to the student's marks.

4. Choose if you would like to allow students to exceed 100% or if you'd like their grades to be capped at 100%.

💡 Akindi will provide the current lowest, highest, and average grade and a preview of how they will be affected by the grade adjustment.

5. Click 'Save'.

Adjust grades modal on the responses tab.

6. A 'Total' column will be added to the 'Responses' tab which reflects the students Multiple Choice Mark + the Grade Adjustment.

💡 The ‘Total’ mark represents the final grade that will be sent to the LMS grade book and included in Student Reports.
