Engrade averages grades based on total points. Therefore an assignment worth 100 points will effect student averages much more than an assignment worth 10 points. Want to set up categories? In your grade book, hover over options and click on Grade Settings Name your categories, weight them if you want, and drop the lowest grade in a category if you want.

Let’s talk Attaching Standards to Assignments. If you attach standards you can see averages of the standards. How great is that. You know which standards the students are mastering and which ones still need a little more instruction. Attaching multiple standards to an assignment can skew the results.
