When a note is visible on the Manage Grades page in the
gradebook, that means that the grade book is not calculating properly.
Therefore, the instructor of the course will be required to review the
categories and items to locate and correct the error. This tutorial
demonstrates how to correct grade book error notes.
1. Log into MyFire and access
the desired course.
2. Select Grades in the navbar.
3. When the page refreshes, there will be an error
note at the top stating that the gradebook does not sum up to equal 100%.
Select the Manage Grades tab to correct the error.
4. Select the drop-down arrow next to the gradebook
item with the incorrect weight. In this case, the Discussion Forums category
weighs 20% instead of 15% which makes the gradebook equal to 105%.
5. Select Edit from the drop-down menu options.
6. When the page refreshes, scroll down to the
grading section and type in the correct percentage into the Weight box.
7. Select Save and Close. The error message at the
top of the screen should no longer be visible.
