Teaching Online at UTAS

If you create a category in the Gradebook and need to assign an existing grade to it follow these instructions:

Step 1 – Click the ‘Grades’ tool in the toolbar and then go to the ‘Manage Grades’ tab.

Step 2 – All your grades are listed here. Click on the name of the Grade Item you wish to assign to a category.

Step 3 – Scroll down a little until you see the option ‘Category’ and use the dropdown menu to select a category. Only previously created Categories are listed. If you haven’t created the Category yet you can create it here using the ‘New Category’ link. Otherwise choose the category you want this grade item to be listed in.

Step 4 – Check the weighting in the grade item. If the category is set up to assign a weight to the grade automatically – the weight option will become greyed out and will show the weighting as assigned by the category. If not greyed out you may have chosen to assign weighting for grades in the category automatically, so now check the grade’s weighting is relative to the Category and is correct.

(grade items inside of a category should normally add up to 100% of the category itself, except in specific circumstances)

Step 5 – Click save and close.

Note: Your grade item may move in the list, it will be indented under the category item. If you need to re-order your grades/categories click the ‘More Options’ button and choose ‘Reorder’.
