Edit Category Average Calculation

1. From the GradeBook, click Settings.

2. Click the Categories tab.

3. At the top of the Categories page, select an assignment category.

   Assignments in that category are listed.

4. Under When Calculating Category Averages, select how you want to average assignment scores for this category.

   Equally

   The point value of each assignment is normalized so each assignment in the category has equal weight.

   By Point Values

   The unadjusted point value of each assignment is used as its weight.

   For example, the Homework category average is different depending on how assignments are weighted:

   Weighting	HW1 Score	HW2 Score	HW3 Score	Category Average
   Equally	6/10	35/50	80/100
   By Point Values	6/10	35/50	80/100

5. Click Save.
