If the Account and Course Level Outcome Mastery Scales feature option is enabled for your account, mastery scales and calculation methods are separated from individual outcomes and the Outcomes page displays Mastery Scales and Calculation Methods tabs.
From the Mastery tab, you can set mastery scales for the entire account.
Notes:
- Enabling the Account and Course Level Outcome Mastery Scales feature option will affect current account data.
- The default criterion mastery ratings display a 0-4 scale.
- If a rubric with aligned outcomes has been used to assess an assignment before Account and Course Level Outcome Mastery Scales are enabled, the assignment is not affected. However, any assignments not previously assessed by the rubric are affected if mastery scores are adjusted.
