Overview
This guide will cover how to use the "Add Total Calculation" feature in the gradebook.
About total calculation columns
When you add a Total Calculation column, you can choose from two calculation methods. Both of these methods function similar to setting up the overall grade. If you have setup the overall grade column, the setup screen will look familiar.
- Weighted: The weighted calculation calculates categories and grade items as a percentage of a final grade worth 100%. You can assign percentage values to any course item and category and choose whether to weight items in the same category proportionally or equally.
- Points: A points-based grade calculation may aid transparency as it makes clear to students what’s worth more in a course and what’s worth less. You can select which categories and items you want to include in the calculation. The max total points available in the course will be decided by the items and categories you include in the calculation.
