   1 <h1>Scales</h1>
   2
   3 <p>Teachers can create new custom scales to be used in a course for any grading activities.</p>
   4
   5 <p>The name of the scale should be a phrase that identifies it clearly: this will appear
   6    in scale-selection lists, as well as on context-sensitive help buttons.</p>
   7
   8 <p>The scale itself is defined by an ordered list of values, ranging from negative to positive, separated by commas.  For example:</p>
   9
  10 <blockquote><i>
  11    Disappointing, Not good enough, Average, Good, Very good, Excellent!
  12 </i></blockquote>
  13
  14 <p>Scales should also include a good description of what it means and how it is
  15    expected to be used.  This description will appear in help pages for teachers and students.</p>
  16
  17 <p>Finally, there may be one or more "Standard" scales defined on your site by the
  18    system administrator.  These will be available in all courses.</p>
