When calculating grades in the grade book for a course, there are assignment-specific settings which you can use to affect the calculations. Note that the grade book must be enabled in your course for these settings to be applied. See Configuring the grade book for a course for more information.
Specifying an assignment category
Assignment categories are used to group student grades. Grades in assignments mapped to active categories are used in grade calculation. You can change the category to which an assignment is mapped.
- Go to the assignment page, and select the Settings tab.
- Choose a category from the Category drop list.
Allowing an assignment to be dropped as a low score
If your grade book final grades are calculated using weighted averages, you can specify whether an assignment's score can be dropped (excluded) from calculations if it is the lowest score in the category.
- Go to the assignment page, and select the Settings tab.
- Select or deselect Allow low score to be dropped as desired.
