Will the grade change to match my preferred grading scale?

Yes, Schoology will automatically covert our grade scaling to your grading scale. You control this by the point value assigned to the Schoology external tool assignment.

Some student grades are missing, what can be done?

Have the student go back to the assignment that is missing the grade.
Have the student click the text that says Summary.

All student grades are zero (0), what can be done?

Double-check the point value for the Schoology external tool assignment and that the value is something other than zero (0). If it is set to zero (0), set the point value to something different and have the students re-submit the assignment. After the steps above have been performed; have the students follow the directions in “Some student grades are missing what can be done?”

Grades are not showing under the correct assignment in the Schoology Gradebook.

Most likely this scenario has happened:

The student opens Assignment “A” and tries a few questions.
The student then opens Assignment “B” in a new tab or window on the same browser.
The student moves back to Assignment “A” and sends the assignment.

In this scenario, scores will appear under Assignment “B” rather than Assignment “A” because scores are sent back for the last opened assignment (Assignment “B” in this case) on the browser as the session is updated.
