Schemas

Schemas

Schemas convert a percentage entered on the Gradebook to another value.  For example, you could use them alongside UGD to convert percentages into grade descriptor.  Blackboard's guidance on Schemas covers the basics of setting one up.

Pass/Fail Schemas

Set the grade boundaries as follows:

Pass Fail Schema demo

These settings mean that a value of 0 will be converted to the word "Fail" while values of 1 (in practice, values of 1 to 100 but it may be easiest to remember your options as 0 or 1) will be converted to the word "Pass"

This method can be expanded if you require options in addition to "Pass" and "Fail".  A three option schema would be set up like this:

Pass Fail Amend Schema Demo

In this schema, an entry of 0 would be converted to "Fail", an entry of 1 to "Amend" or an entry of 2 (in practice 2 to 100) to "Pass"
