[Building Sakai] Do any schools use multiple grading bases in the same gradebook ?

[George Pipkin]

Thanks for the response.  The central question is do you have the same 
student having multiple
enrollments in a class, each of which might have a different grading 
basis ?  (and if so, how do you
handle that?)
