How do I create weighted grading categories?

Question

I want two categories: Participation and preparation as 35% of grade and exams/projects as 65% of the grade.  How do I set that up?

Hi  @fox-anderson

These guides should help you. Canvas Calls them "Assignment Groups", and in Canvas all assignments must be in a group. Canvas creates a default group called, logically enough, Assignments".

* How do I add an assignment group in a course?  
* How do I move or reorder an assignment group? 
* How do I weight the final course grade based on assignment groups?

Groups can be very powerful so I suggest checking out the Assignments Chapter of the Canvas Instructor Guide for more information.
