Items/Categories Do Not Contribute to the Final Grade
Creating Grade Items/Categories Which do not Contribute to the Final Grade
Sometimes you may want to add items for activities that you don’t want to count toward the final grade (Homework Practice, Participation, etc.)
To designate an item/category which should not contribute to the Final Grade.
1. Click “Grades” from the blue Nav bar.
2. Click “Manage Grades” from the Gradebook tab.
3. From the items which appear, select the down arrow next to the item or category you would like to exclude from the overall grade and click “edit”.
4. Scroll down until you see the “Grading” section and select “Exclude from Final Grade Calculation.” This will remove the item or category from the total available points.
5. When you are done editing, click save and close. Once your changes are saved, you will automatically be re-directed to the manage grades menu. You should see an exclamation mark next to items or categories which have been excluded from the final grade.
