Hello,
I apologize in advance if this has been addressed already. I did take some time to search the forums, and I also read the Grades FAQ page. But to no avail...
I am having an issue with the gradebook not calculating grades correctly, or at least I think so. I feel pretty sure that I set my gradebook up correctly.
I have three categories: Completion tasks, formative assessments, and summative assessments. Their weights, respectively, are 10%, 40%, and 50%. I set these three categories up so that the overall course grade is the parent category, and made each on aggregated using weighted mean.
Here's one particular example for a student:
Completion tasks average: 94%
Formative Assessments average: 76%
Summative Assessments average: 80%
According the grader report, his average is 90% overall. If I calculate his average based on my percentages, it should be 80%. Something is wrong.
I have racked my brain trying to figure out what setting I have missed or what I've done wrong. I am at a loss.
Has anyone experienced this before? What am I doing wrong, or what setting have I missed?
Thanks in advance,
Brandon
