Weight Individual Assignments

In addition to calculating students' grades using weight values assigned to assignment types, GradeBook can also calculate students' grades using weight values of individual assignments. When you create an assignment, on the Assignment Details screen, enter a number other than 1 in the Weight field that reflects the weight value of the individual assignment. Changing the weight to 0 results in the assignment being excluded from all student averages.

Use individual assignment weights if you prefer to use a factor-based weighting method rather than averaging assignment type averages. If you use weighted averages by assignment type, changing the individual assignment weight causes it to count the specified number of times in the average for the assignment type; however, that overall average is still calculated using the weight assigned to that assignment type.
