We subdivide our semesters into quarters, and each semester's grades are cumulative across the two quarters. There is currently no way to do this in the Grade Book. Instead, we have to do per quarter, then manually average the two semesters. I would like to be able to define custom cumulative grading periods so that we can link Quarter 1 and Quarter 2 together to form the cumulative grade for Semester 1.
Yes, it is providing false advertising when the cummulative grade that is shown in the gradebook is just an average of the marketing periods and doesn't take in consideration the grading calculations that are setup.
