Change assignment weights

Updated 21 May 2024

You can adjust how gradebook categories and individual assignments are weighted when calculating student overall scores in each content area.

  1. Open the Manage Grades page and select Change Weights from the toolbar.
  2. Choose how to calculate overall scores:
    • Category and Assignment Weighting: Categories are weighted relative to one another and assignments are weighted within each category.
    • Assignment Weighting Only: Assignments are weighted relative to other assignments only.

Using an LMS? If your MyLab course is paired with your Learning Management System, you can choose how scores are sent to the LMS gradebook.
