Calculation Methods and Weights
GradeBook provides many options for setting up your GradeBook calculations. Options for calculating students’ grades using straight averages or weighted averages are available on the Average Calculation Setup screen. GradeBook is set up, by default, to use straight averages and automatically calculate students' grades after you enter assignment marks, change existing marks in the GradeBook, or change assignments.
You may choose to use weighted averages and recalculate grades manually. You also have the option of using the same calculation method for each grading period or different calculation methods for each grading period.
