Assignment groups are needed to make
assignments. They are simply a location or box by
which assignments are categorized. You need at
least one group, but there is no limit to the
number of groups a teacher can have. You need
to determine if you want to use a total points
accumulated system or a weighted category
system. Total points accumulated system scores
are calculated based on entering scores and
accumulating points possible over the course of
the grading period. The students score is
calculated by dividing the points earned by the
points possible.

Weights account for how much value scores
receive in the overall tallying of grades.
Weighted group calculation is based on defining
percentage weights to the group that is composed
of several assignments. The different groups are
then combined and the summary grade is calculated
based on the individual weightings. Example I -
Weighted Categories where assessments have
varying values ? Homework 30 ? Quizzes 15 ?
Tests 40 ? Class Participation 15 Example II
- Weighted Categories where assessments are of
equal value ? Homework 25 ? Quizzes 25 ? Tests
25 ? Class Participation 25 The summary
score is calculated by averaging each groups
scores, multiplying the group average by its
group weight and adding the weighted scores
together. You must have the weighted percentage
add up to 100.
