- Choose the “Primary” and “Secondary” display type. Secondary displays only to instructor.
- Click on a “Column Name“, or a “Category“, and press the “Right Arrow” button.
- At the top left, beside the “Orange Asterisk“, enter the weighted value for that item.
- Continue to add items until the weight at the bottom displays 100%.
- Choose if the column will be a “Running Total“, which means only items taken by the student will be included in their grade.
- When satisfied, press the “Submit” button.
