You can weight final grades based on assignment groups. Selecting this option assigns a weight to each assignment group, not the assignments themselves. Within each assignment group, a percentage is calculated by dividing the total points a student has earned by the total points possible for all assignments in that group.
Open Assignments
In Course Navigation, click the Assignments link.
Open Assignment Groups Weights Settings
Click the Assignments Options icon [1] and select the Assignment Groups Weights option [2].
Weight Final Grade
Click the Weight final grade based on assignment groups checkbox.
Set Weights
Enter the percentage weights for each of the different Assignment Groups you created [1]. The percentage weights you specify here will determine how Canvas calculates the final grade for your course. These percentages can be changed at any time and students will be notified when any changes are made. The weights will show up in the Gradebook for both students and instructors.
Click the Save button [2].
Notes:
- Assignment group weights can include decimals.
- The total percentage of all assignment groups can be set above or below 100%.
