Weighted Grades

Weighted total is an option for calculating the final grade of the students. It is based on the respective percentages you give to various columns and categories. When setting up the Weighted Total column, you’ll determine the weight assigned to either a column (i.e. a single assignment, such as the Final Paper) or a category (i.e. a group of assignments, such as discussions or quizzes). A Weighted Total is calculated independently of the actual points an assignment is worth. Let’s consider the following percentages: Final Exam 40% | Discussion Board: 20% | Reading responses: 20% | Quizzes or tests: 20%
