Categories are used to organize and weight groups of assignments. You can use categories to group and weight assignments. You can access the Categories page from Gradebook Settings. With categories, you can:
- See grade average per category based on approved grades.
- Filter student detail or assignment list by category.
- Set category weights for the calculation of cumulative grades.
On the Categories page in Settings, you will see a list of all existing Categories and their details, as well as be able to create a new category.

Uncategorized is the default category. Its default weight is 1. Its details can be edited like any other category, but it cannot be deleted. If you do not want to use the Uncategorized category, please create other categories and make sure to move any existing assignments to the correct categories (this can be done via Edit Assignment). |
