Grading basis - which one to use?

Class Grading Basis determines in which grading mode (letter or CR/NC) will the class be graded. By default, the grading basis of a class is inherited from the Course Catalog, but it can be changed on the Adjust Class Associations page (here is how to do it). Below is a short list of Grading Basis that should be used:
