How Moodle Assigns Values to Scores in a Scale

I do not get the point of this section. Without research, the first draft was better than this.

You currently can't map a custom scale to a percentage value so that you can average together the scores on your custom scale and compute an overall grade for a category. Moodle's conversion of custom or non-numeric scales to percentages is unpredictable, and you're best off sticking with a standard 100% scale if you need to compute an average or aggregate your category averages into an overall grade.

Rule 1, tell people what it will do first, then note what it will not do. I will roll back and try an edit combining both. And maybe have to research Scales again on demo.moodle.org--Chris collman 13:01, 22 January 2009 (CST)

How do scales and outcomes relate to each other

Guess I am not a real teacher. I do not understand how outcomes and scales relate to each other in Moodle. The docs do not help me understand, other than scales are used in outcomes. Confuzelled.--Chris collman 14:42, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
