Setting Up Composite Grading
To set up Composite Grading for a task or standard, mark the Composite checkbox next to the parent task or standard. The composite options display below.
- Select a child task or standard.
- Click Add to add another child task or standard. The options available are based on the Grading Tasks and Standards aligned to the course.
- Enter a Weight for each child task or standard. Weights calculate relative to each other, rather than as percentages of 100. The Effective % column shows the relative percentage of each weight, calculated based on the other weights entered.
- You can also enter weights in number representing percents, if that style more accurately represents your composite grading setup. For example, this image illustrations a scenario in which your section has four quarters (Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4) that have equal weight (22.22) and a Final Exam that is worth (11.12) Of the student's grade.
- Click Save to finish setting up your composite grading.

The Composite Grading calculation adjusts automatically if a student was not present in the section for all included tasks. For example, a section is set up with a Final Grade that consists of each Quarter weighted as 20% and a Final Exam that is also 20%, but one student doesn't join the section until Q2. For that student only, Q2, Q3, Q4, and the Final Exam are each weighted as 25% (20+20+20+20/80). |
