Add Marking Scales for non-USA Courses.

[GeorgeWL]

GPA is meaningless for any countries outside of the USA.

The system of grading for Courses outside of the USA is very different from the USA standard of GPA and the A-B-C-D-E-F equivalent.

The major problem is there's a veritable mass of confusing and non-compatible systems.

The EU tries to combat that by using the standard of ECTS to convert the local grading scale (where it takes whatever the original grading scales, divides them into 5 and places them in the equivalent locations on there own scale.)

But the ECTS is still not accepted in all EU countries, and is rarely used outside of the EU.

Hey thanks for reaching out. Yes we are already considering that. Hopefully we will have something tangible soon.

The simplest (but probably not exactly future-proof) is to just rename the field to Grade, as every system (to my knowledge) calls it Grade, even if they use GPA or Class Systems.

JSON doesn't do conditionals to my knowledge, but we could maybe set some conditionals in the JavaScript to ignore certain sections if a certain key-value = true and have sections ready for that option...but that sounds to be over-complicating things.
