I have one quiz worth 5% and another worth 20%. I can't weigh the quizzes assignment group all the same. Is it possible to assign the weight specifically to each assignment?
Hi @TylerLawrence12
To assign a weight to an individual assignment you will need to create an assignment group for that activity and set the weight you desire for it.
In your instance, you'd have one group for the 5% assignment and a second group for the 20% assignment.
Assignment Groups Weighting is used for the big categories of grades which you will use to calculate your students' final grades. For example:
Homework Assignments: 20%
Weekly Quizzes: 10%
Chapter Exams: 30%
Midterm Exam: 15%
Final Exam 25%
These are the categories that you would list on your syllabus.
Now, it's the important part: there is no sub-tier of percentage "weighting" within each category. Now, you need to look at points.
Let's say, for example, you have five chapter exams, and you want them to be counted equally. Then each exam would need the same number of points. (e.g. 30 points each)
However, perhaps, you want the last two chapter exams to be worth more. Then you need to adjust the number of points. (e.g. 30 points, 30 points, 30 points, 50 points, 50 points).
So, if you have two quizzes, and the second one is more important, just give it more points.

Hi all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion. If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
