Test 1: Grading/Grade Calculation Verification
Now, grade students and validate their scores. These examples are based on real grades. Select any student and stick with that student's grades to verify the category and final grades are weighted as specified. Repeat and change grades to validate another set of grades against MyUCDavis grading. If any grade set is different in Gradebook 2.5, indicate the student grade set and specify the differences.

When grading calculation verification is completed, leave a set of grades to verify the following test.

Now, enter the final participation grade (same as category 4) and verify the following category grades equal the final grade:
