To access the grade item editing screen:

1. Go to the Grades from the top menu bar on your course page.
   
   
   
   
2. Select the menu item located below and then Gradebook setup.
   
   
   
   
3. Click Edit then Edit settings in the row of the grade item you need to edit.
   
   
   
   
4. Or, if you are already inside the gradebook in the Grader report menu, toggle on Edit mode at the top right and then click on the gear icon in the top row of the column you need to edit.
   
   
   
   
5. Once you are on the grade item editing screen, if no student grades have been entered, the screen will be easily editable just as if you were adding a new grade item (see Adding Grade Items for more information).
   
   If student grades have already been entered, the screen will appear differently, alerting you to that fact. At this time you are also prevented from changing the 'Grade type' and from editing the 'Maximum grade' until the 'Rescale existing grades' dropdown is specified.
   
   
   
   
6. To determine whether to rescale or not, all that is required is to know whether the existing student grades have been scored as if the maximum grade was already correct, ie. if you were entering scores as if the total was 50 but the grade item had the default maximum grade of 100 specified. Selecting No will result in no changes to the student scores - so that they will remain the correct raw score for the new maximum grade (this is the most common use case and should be the selection in most cases).
   
   Selecting Yes will convert the scores to so that their original percentage is retained, rescaling them to be out of the new maximum grade - this would only be required if you had initially scored an item out of 100 and wanted to convert the item and all scores to be out of a different total.
   
   
   
   

Note that grade settings changes for built-in eClass activities (such as quizzes or assignment) must be changed in the activity itself rather than through the gradebook.

Duplicating a manual grade item:

Manual grade items can be duplicated via their 'Edit' menu in the gradebook setup . Grades aren't copied, only settings, including weight (if applicable).
