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.
To specify a grade book category for an assignment:
- Go to the assignment, and select the Grade book tab.
- Choose a Grade book category.
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.
To allow or prevent an assignment score from being dropped:
- Go to the assignment, and select the Grade book tab.
- Select or deselect Allow low score to be dropped as desired.
