Using the term ‘grade’ in ‘component grade’ for the individual parts of a grade calculation can be misleading. This is especially true when the final grade is calculated using these parts along with bonuses, penalties, adjusted importance, or custom formula, potentially leading to a final grade that’s lower than any single ‘component grade’.

To avoid this confusion, let’s change how we show the grade calculation. Instead of ‘component grade’ use ‘component score’. And make the title ‘Automatically Computed Score’ for Folders more specific by labeling it ‘Weighted Folder Average’.
Only the final outcome of the calculation should then be labeled as the final submission grade.
