[Building Sakai] Gradebook wording change: https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-15145

[Neal Caidin]

No objection here. Does the fix version mean that it is not being targeted for 2.9.0 release? Just asking. I'm still a little unclear how much to "trust" the Fixed version and Affected Version fields in Jira.

Thanks,

Something like "I won't be able to enter another grade for those assignments?" which is not the case but the thought will arise when people first encounter it.

The intent is that items graded with a zero will be included in the course grade, but items which are ungraded (or blank) will not be included in the course grade (which would be appropriate for optional items).
