How to set extra credit check to default to unchecked when creating a new graded item

In my sum of grades category when I create a new manual graded item the item always appears with the extra credit box already checked.  Is there a way to set it to default to unchecked so the teachers do not have the uncheck it for every graded activity.  I am afraid that some will forget to uncheck it and then the student's grade will appear higher.

steps:  category = sum of grades, add graded item, it shows up with extra credit already checked.
