Lesson Planner (page 1 of 10)

Assignment groups are needed to make assignments. They are simply a location or box by which assignments are categorized. You need at least one group, but there is no limit to the number of groups a teacher can have.

You need to determine if you want to use a total points accumulated system or a weighted category system.

Total points accumulated system scores are calculated based on entering scores and accumulating points possible over the course of the grading period. The student’s score is calculated by dividing the points earned by the points possible.



Weights account for how much value scores receive in the overall tallying of grades. Weighted group calculation is based on defining percentage weights to the group that is composed of several assignments. The different groups are then combined and the summary grade is calculated based on the individual weightings.

Example I - Weighted Categories where assessments have varying values● Homework 30% ● Quizzes 15%● Tests 40% ● Class Participation 15% Example II - Weighted Categories where assessments are of equal value● Homework 25% ● Quizzes 25%● Tests 25% ● Class Participation 25%

The summary score is calculated by averaging each group’s scores, multiplying the group average by its group weight and adding the weighted scores together.

You must have the weighted percentage add up to 100%.
