Select Weighted
You will see a list of the CATEGORIES or folders that Blackboard has by default.
Blackboard automatically distributes the percentages proportionally, so you will need to change them.
It is important that you check which ITEMS are inside each category using the arrows.
If the CATEGORY contains 0 items, select the EXCLUDE symbol so it is not taken into account in the calculation (since it contains nothing).
If a category contains several items but these do not have the same weight in the final grade (e.g., a midterm test and a final exam), in that case use the unlink symbol to remove it from the category or folder .....
............so you can assign it a percentage as an independent item.
It is not necessary to use all the items to calculate the overall grade, only those that are part of the final grade with their corresponding weight or percentage

On the right-hand side, under Select how the overall grade is displayed, use the arrow to select PERCENTAGE.
If the tick next to Show to students is green, students will be able to see the final grade.
If you prefer to wait, remove the green tick and activate it again when you want them to see it.
Always press SAVE in the bottom-right corner.
