We provide a default list of assignment categories but you can create your own universal list of categories for all your courses. You can Add or Delete from our list by clicking on Settings in the Navigation bar and selecting General Course Settings.

You can categorize your assignments when you create an assignment by choosing a category from the pull down menu on the assignment form.

Set weights for categories you create in Universal Settings in the Dashboard on your homepage. Weighting only counts for categories in which you have assignments.
If you use weighting, you can add a grade weight to each category in each gradebook. Categories appear in a pull-down list when you assign. Only categories you use will appear in your gradebook and those that you do not use will be reapportioned to equal 100%.
Use Advanced Settings to set the number of decimal points. Scores are rounded up/down to the last decimal.
