The weighted column generates a grade based on the result of selected columns and categories, and their respective percentages. When you create a weighted column, you can include regular/automatically-created columns, other calculated columns, and other weighted columns.

Steps to change column(s) categories.

You can create grade columns for activities that took place outside of class, such as a science fair or a juried art show. Or, you may assign credit for participation or attendance at an event. For manually added items, no submissions exist. The column is populated when you assign the grades.

You can create grading periods to group Grade Center columns together by a period of time, such as terms, semesters, or quarters. You can also create grading periods to group columns together by a shared characteristic, such as all the gradable columns for a group project. To create a date range grading period, you can select a setting to automatically associate all existing columns with due dates that occur in the date range.

Steps to organize columns in Grade Center.

In the Grade Center, three types of columns appear: user, calculated, and grade. Each column has a menu with options. The options that appear vary depending on the type of column.
