2. Select the Assign Grades button under the exam (e.g., ECON 1 Introduction to Economics)

Assign raw scores without letter grades

1. Select the Raw/No Grade radio button to provide students a raw point score only.
   1. Many teachers use this option when all points received from assignments, class participation, quizzes, and exams are accumulated, analyzed, and assigned a final letter grade based on a derived scale (e.g., a curve) at the end of the term.
2. Select Release Grades

   3. To the left, notice the number and percentage of students that will receive the grade
   4. You can change the lower bound of each grade cutoff to create a custom scale or curve by inputting the cut score or using the up or down arrows.
