Is there any way to change the number of decimals displayed to students for their quiz scores? Right now, the default display is 2 decimals, when the student achieves a round score like 8.00/10.00

However, I have a few quizzes with multiple select answers, and students are getting grades like 9.16667 or 8.8333, for example.

Any way to round to 1 or 2 decimals?

Aloha,

There isn't a way to specifically set how many decimal places are displayed in the grade center.  It looks like what happens is that normally, scores are displayed to 2 decimal places, but when the decimal is repeating the score is displayed to 5 decimal places to minimize the rounding error when combining multiple scores.
