02:56: So if you build a performance scheme, with the name values of only excellent and poor,

03:00: you cannot enter a score of good. In the Gradebook scores

03:05: are inputted by points percentage or performance value.

03:09: For instance, if an assignment is worth 10 points and the student earns 9,
