Calculations should cover things like P/F and a min grade.

- P/F issue. Translate P and F to numeric grades. (100% and 0%) thus 2 P and 1 
F would result in 66% which would calculate as a F if the min grade is 70%. 
This would be configurable and separate from fail numeric grade.

- Min grade issue....I'm not sure. It seems silly to actually for grades to 
70%. Otherwise a student can get a 100%, 100%, and 0% (turns to 70%) resulting 
in a 90% YTD! One school has solved this by having the report card show 70% 
when it's really less. But this is just as confusing as now the numbers don't 
add up!

Can we do a range for the first point and enter numeric grades rather than the 
opposite. E.g. Joe Doe gets a 70 which = LP TRI1, a 60 which = F TRI2 and a 90 
which = HP TRI3 and then the average is 71 = which = LP for the year. It will 
just result in a more accurate calculation.

I don't understand what you are asking here. Can you explain more?

Talked with Jen, a P and LP are exactly the same.

I'm going to set it so that 2 passes and one fail result in a pass. The math 
behind here exists so it can be customized, but for your purposes just know 
that it works this way. You can still override it since a tri 3 fail results in 
a overall fail. I still think this is just moving the issue to tri 2. A clever 
student might realize that the easiest way to pass work study is to - Pass tri 
1, fail tri 2, pass tri 3. Pass or fail on tri 2 makes no change on the final 
grade. I'm really getting off topic though.
