Create Weighted Assignment Groups

Last updated on November 5, 2021

Assignment groups allow you to organize your assignments by category. For more information, please visit the “Organize Assignments Using Assignment Groups” tutorial. This tutorial describes how to weight your assignment groups to affect how strongly each category will affect the final grade. For example, you could set Projects to 20%, Discussions to 10%, Quizzes to 30%, and Final Exam to 40%.
