Set up grading

• For your grading system, you can choose Total points or Weighted by category grading. In both, grades are calculated for you, and you can let students check their overall grade for the class. If you don’t want to use a grading system, you can choose No overall grade. Grades won’t be calculated and students can’t check their overall grade. 

• You can also organize classwork with grade categories, such as Essays, Homework, and Tests. For example, if your class has 4 essay assignments, you can organize them in an Essays category.

• Grades are calculated for the duration of the class. If you want to begin grading again for a new term or semester, you have to create a new class. 

Grading System

To have grades calculated for you and an option to let students check their overall grade, use: 

• Total points grading

• Weighted by category grading

After you select a grading system, you can add grade categories. Grade categories are required with Weighted by category grading but can also be used with Total points grading or No overall grade.
