Term Grade (object)

Term Grade (object)
This object represents the overall score/grade a student has achieved for a Course throughout the whole semester (Term).
The Term Grade rolls up the calculated score from all the individual grades (assignments and exams) the student has achieved for that Course. This will also be rolled up to the student's Course Connection record and be displayed as the final grade/score.
For a use case, see: Grade breakdown for a Course.
** By default, there is no automatic rollup for Grades and Term Grades.
This is because each user might have different requirements and method of calculating the final score of a Course.
Thus, you are recommended to highlight your requirements to the RIO Team.
