How do I set up a Gradebook with categories and weighting?
Updated onArticleIn this scenario,an instructor has homework, projects, a midterm, and a final to grade. They would like the weighting to be as follows:
- 3 Homework assignments - 24% of the total grade
- 2 Projects - 26%
- 1 Midterm - 20%
- 1 Final - 30%
The percentages of all the weighting must add up to 100%.
It is easiest to set up the Gradebook first, and then create or add items to the Gradebook. If Gradebook items have already been created, the instructor may return to this setup later and then assign the Gradebook items to the appropriate categories. It is also easy to add categories and even change the weighting of grades at any time.
