Disabling "Weight items equally" leaves excessive precision and doesn't add up to 100%
If I have three grade items in an "Weight items equally" category, and I disable "Weight items equally", it assigns an item weight of "33.33333" to each grade item.
33.33333 + 33.33333 + 33.33333 = 99.99999 which is not equals 100. So we need to show the "This gradebook is not correctly weighted." message.
Impediment/Question:
We need to come up with a strategy where we consistently handle numeric grade and item/category weight input. We have discussed this in the past that we may want to limit numeric input to 2 decimal places. This question should probably be posted to UCD CCFIT/Academic Council. Having a consisten numeric scale will allow us to handle calculations better in cases where we have to make assumptions about a calculation result and its scale.
