THE PROGRADE SYSTEM will scale any or all assignments either UP or 
      DOWN.  Choose M at the ASSIGNMENT.GRADE entry area to get the 
      MODIFICATION MENU and choose option 11 for scaling.  THE PROGRADE 
      SYSTEM provides two distinct methods of scaling.  The first ADDS 
      (subtracts) a certain percent of the total (say 5% or 10%) to each 
      student's grade for that particular assignment.  This procedure 
      benefits students with lower grades more than those with higher 
      grades.  The second method MULTIPLIES each student's grade by a 
      certain factor, to increase (decrease) that grade by say 5% or 10%.  
      With this method, all students are scaled an equal PER CENT of the 
      GRADE THEY ALREADY HAVE.  A student with a zero grade would gain 
      nothing.  Give careful consideration to which scaling procedure to 
      use.  An example follows. 

             ORIGINAL      ADD TO SCALE 10%   MULTIPLY TO SCALE 10% 
              24/100           34/100                 26/100
              68/100           78/100                 75/100
              89/100           99/100                 98/100

      To scale grades downward, enter a negative factor such as -10.
