Set Credit Type

Activities can be practice or graded. If the activity is graded, you can set a credit / no credit threshold that gives students full credit if they meet the threshold and zero credit if they do not.

You can change the credit type of one activity, or multiple activities at once.
Before you begin

This task is different depending on the version of MindTap used in your class.

If these directions do not match what you see in your class, click MindTap version in the toolbar above and select your MindTap version.

To see the behavior of each settings template, click user icon your name > Course Settings > Activity Settings Templates.

You can create new settings templates, or edit existing templates as needed.

Practice activities do not count toward student grades and do not sync to your LMS.

Credit/no credit activities grant either full credit or no credit based on students' meeting a threshold score for the activity. For example, if you set the credit threshold to 60%, students who score at least 60% on the activity receive 100% in the gradebook, and all students who score under 60% receive 0%.

If a credit / no credit activity also has a late penalty, the late penalty is deducted from the full credit score.
