After an assignment is complete, its grade cannot be calculated toward its class until it is saved as "Complete" with a valid grade entered. There are several ways to enter grades:

• Percentage - 82%
• Raw score - 33.62/41

Both of these grades are 82%, but how you enter them affects your overall grades differently. 82% is out of 100 points, whereas 33.62 is out of 41 points.

If your teacher returns an assignment to you with simply a percentage grade, entering that percentage is fine. But anytime your teacher returns an assignment with a points-based score, always enter the points into Helium.

This additional point information is essential to help Helium calculate the most accurate grade possible for your categories, classes, and academic terms.
