Grading Standards API

A GradingSchemeEntry object looks like:

{
  // The name for an entry value within a GradingStandard that describes the range
  // of the value
  "name": "A",
  // The value for the name of the entry within a GradingStandard.  The entry
  // represents the lower bound of the range for the entry. This range includes
  // the value up to the next entry in the GradingStandard, or 100 if there is no
  // upper bound. The lowest value will have a lower bound range of 0.
  "value": 0.9
}

A GradingStandard object looks like:

{
  // the title of the grading standard
  "title": "Account Standard",
  // the id of the grading standard
  "id": 1,
  // the context this standard is associated with, either 'Account' or 'Course'
  "context_type": "Account",
  // the id for the context either the Account or Course id
  "context_id": 1,
  // A list of GradingSchemeEntry that make up the Grading Standard as an array of
  // values with the scheme name and value
  "grading_scheme": [{"name":"A","value":0.9}, {"name":"B","value":0.8}, {"name":"C","value":0.7}, {"name":"D","value":0.6}]
}
