Set Minimum Grade Requirements (VB Essentials)

The Set Minimum Grade option allows you to set a minimum grade that the students must achieve in order for the activity to be considered complete.  

If a student scores below the minimum grade, the student will be notified that they have not met the minimum grade, and the activity will be auto-reset.  The student will then be required to achieve the minimum grade before being able to move on to the next activity in the assignment.

A minimum grade may be set for each quiz, reading and math, as well as the simulation itself.

Note: This option can be extremely useful in preventing students from submitting their simulations early after only answering the simulation questions. If a student answers all simulations question correctly the first time, they will obtain a grade of 80% without having to do any further work in the simulation.  By setting a minimum grade for the simulation to be 81%, the student would have to make some progress in the simulation towards the goal before they could submit the simulation early.

To set minimum grades, please follow the instructions below:

1.  Log into your instructor account.
