If the student enters a grade that is impossible to obtain the Grader shows an error message. Figure 2.7.2.4 shows the error message for an impossible grade.

The student may also enter any blank grades and the Grader will calculate the student's final grade from the entered information. Values the student enters display in green, and calculated values display in red. Figure 2.7.2.5 shows the screen after the student clicks predict.

Class statistics do not update based on predicted and entered grades since the student's points possible are different from the points possible for the other students.
