GradeBook provides several different options when using weighted averages to allow for flexibility in calculating students' grades. You may use any of the following grade calculation options:
•Use straight averages, points as the mark type for all assignment types, and assign different values to individual assignments.
•Use straight averages and weight individual assignments as desired.
•Use weighted averages and assign different weight values to each assignment type.
•Use weighted averages, assign different weight values to each assignment type, and assign different values to individual assignments.
•Use weighted averages and straight averages in different grading periods in the same school year.
If you use straight averages to calculate students' grades and points as the mark type for assignment types, you can weight grades by assigning a different point value to each assignment type. For example, homework assignments may be worth 5 points, while quizzes are worth 25 points.
