Here’s how to do it:
- Go to the Blackboard Control Panel, and click on Gradebook
- Click the Weight Grades button
- Select the option to Weight by Category* or to Weight by Item
- Assign weight percentages to the desired categories or items
- Percentages must add up to 100%
- Click Submit to save the new settings
Weighting by category allows you to assign a weight percentage to a particular type of Gradebook item rather than to each Gradebook item. For example, you can weight all course quizzes at 30% of the students’ total grades. Each time you add a quiz, the weight percentage for each quiz will adjust so that their sum total can only affect up to 30% of the students’ grades. Remember, the total percentages across all categories must add up to 100%.
To use this feature correctly, it is important that you assign Gradebook items to appropriate categories. Here’s how to change a Gradebook item’s category:
- Go to the Blackboard Control Panel, and click on Gradebook
- Click the Manage Items button
- Click the Modify button next to the Gradebook item you want to change
- Select a new category for the item, and click Submit
