Gradebook Required Settings
- The Categories should reflect the Evaluation and Assessment in the Course Outline.
- Assignments can be
combined under one general heading as can Exams providing the category
value is equal to the value of the combined items and the items within
the category are weighted appropriately.
- If Grade Book Categories are missing, directions for adding them can be found here
- Totals should be out of 100. Any other number means that students grades will be calculated as a percentage of the total (e.g. a student earns 100% for a category, but if the total for the category is set to 40, the student will only be attributed 40% of their 100%).
- Each Category, as well as the Course, should be set to Include empty grades. This is the site standard; except in VERY particular circumstances, DO NOT change.
- Include Empty Grades means that what students see at any
given time is the grade they would get at that time, providing
everything submitted has been marked
