Hi all,
I've had a number of users request the option to adjust gradebook weightings for individual students or a small number of students.
The use case is pretty common in post-secondary: a student has to miss a mid-term exam and their final exam then receives whatever the mid-term exam was weighted as.
This (AFAIK) is currently not possible - you can exclude certain grade items from individual student's course total calculations but this only provides the option of spreading the excluded weight evenly across all the other assessment items in a course. You cannot take all the weighting of a particular excluded assessment item and target another item where it would apply.
I just wanted to make sure I am not missing something and check and see if others had this need and/or if there was a feature requested somewhere (in case my fruitless searches of tracker didn't hit the necessary key words.)
The only workaround we have been able to offer is to manually calculate the course total for the exception students and override the course total cell for them.
Thanks for your time.
Dave
