Default Weighting in Gradebook Preferences

1. Categories Only

Each category (formally known as bin in Integrade) is assigned a percentage.Each assignment in that category is averaged based on percentage regardless of the

total points the assignment is worth. Example:

Homework: 25% Quizzes: 25% Tests: 50%9/10=90% 100/100 80/10010/10=100% 75/100 94/100

9/10=90% 80/100 90/10010/10=100%Total=380%/4=95% (100=75=80)/3=85% (80+94+90)/3=88%Average: 95% Average: 85% Average: 88%

(95 25/100) + (85 x 25/100) + (88 x 50/100) = 89%

2. Categories and Assignments

Selecting this default weighting function will allow the teacher to determine the

weighting for each category and for the assignments within the categories. Eachassignment is converted to a percentage. Assignments are multiplied by their given

weight and then added to calculate the category average. Category averages are then

multiplied by their given weight and added to get the term average.

Example:

Homework: 25% Quizzes: 25% Tests: 50%(wt=1): 9 of 10 = 90% (wt=1): 100 of 100 =

100%(wt=1): 80 of 100 =80%

(wt=1): 10 of 10 =100%

(wt=1): 75 of 100 =75%

(wt=1): 94 of 100 =94%

(wt=1): 9 of 10 = 90% (wt=1): 80 of 100 =80%

( wt=2 ): 90 of 100 =90%

( wt=2 ): 10 of 10 =100%

(90 x 1/5) + (100 x1/5) + (90 x 1/5) +(100 x 2 /5) = 96%

(100 x 1/3) + (75 x1/3) + (80 x 1/3)= 85%

(80 x 1/4) + (94 x1/4) + (90 x 2 /4) =88.5%

The system then weights category averages just like the Categories Only option:

(96 1/4) + (85 x 1/4) + (88.5 x 1/2) = 89.5%

3. Total PointsSetting the default weighting to Total Points calculates averages by dividing the total

number of points a student earns by the total amount of points possible. Assignments

are not converted to averages. The term average for a student is the sum of the

points earned divided by the sum of the points possible.

Example:

Homework Quizzes Tests

10/10 50/50 80/1009/10 42/50 94/10015/20 49/50 180/2004/538/45 140/150 354/400

Total Points Earned = 38 + 140 + 354 =532

Total Points Possible = 45 + 150 + 400 = 595

Student Percentage: 595/532 = 89.4%

4. Category Total Points

Selecting the default weighting to Category Total Points to allow the user to use total

points for individual assignments within categories that are weighted. Assignments arenot converted to percentages. Within each category the points a student receives are

added together. Within each category, the total points possible are added together.

Each category average is the sum of the points earned divided by the sum of points

possible. Category averages are then multiplied by their given weight and added to

find the term average.

Example:

Homework: 25% Quizzes: 25% Tests: 50%10/10 50/50 80/1009/10 42/50 94/10015/20 48/50 180/2004/5HW average: 38/45

(84.4 x 25/100) + (93.3 x 25/100) + (88.5 x 50/100) =88.7%
