Weighting+Grades

If you want different categories of assignments to be worth more than other categories, grades can be "weighted". The final grade a student receives is calculated based on the categories and not strictly on how many points they receive on all the assignments.

Under the Grade Setup tab, click on the grading period which the scoring will be weighted. Click on the plus sign (add category) and a box will appear with the categories you have designated. Check the boxes to select the categories you will use for your assignments. Click OK.



Double-click in the field under the heading Weight and change the 0 to a number to create the weighting. The percent column will automatically change to reflect the score weighting. The picture here shows the process. When the “20” is accepted in the project row, the percents for all categories will change to equal 100%.



NOTE: Weighting can be changed and edited at any time, either before or after assignments and scores are entered. You must go back to the score sheet, filter by the current grading period, and under the Tools menu, click Recalculate Final Scores.
