Gradebook

Hi Casey,

You're welcome.

I use simple mean of grades for all my grade categories. You can set the maximum grade of each quiz (45), assignment (45)& participation (10) category total according to your desired weighting. I attach a screen-shot of where I would make what changes.

You could try using formulas instead of my method. You have to give each grade item an ID number and then use a formula to calculate your desired result.

To use formulas:

1. Click on the Calculator icon next to the category total of the item you want to change in the Categories and Item screen.
2. Give each grade item an ID number
3. At the bottom of the screen click on "Add id numbers"
4. Use the ID numbers you created to enter a formula in the Calculation area of the same screen and click save changes.

Here are a couple of simple formulas you could use: (copied from the help file)

• average([[item1]], [[item2]]...): Returns the average of a sample
• sum([[item1]], [[item2]]...): Returns the sum of all arguments

Hope this helps
