Step 1 – Create Categories

First select your prefer calculation approach, Grade By Percent or Grade By Point.

Grade By Percent
Each category is worth a specific percentage of the overall grade. For example, a category called Homework is worth 50% of the overall grade, Quizzes is worth 25%, and Exams is worth 25%. In this case, simply use the appropriate percent value (50, 25, and 25) as the weight for each category.

Grade By Points
Each category is worth a total number of points. All categories are added up to determine the overall grade. For example, a category called Homework is worth 300 points, Quizzes is worth 150 points, and Exams is worth 150 points. For this scenario, use the appropriate point value (300, 150, and 150) as the weight for each category.

The next step is to create categories for the purpose of grouping like assignments based on their impact on the overall grade.

Step 2 – Select Content Items
The next step in the gradebook setup process is to select the ANGEL content items (quizzes, drop boxes, discussion forums, SCORM assessments, and surveys) that you want to display in the gradebook.

Step 3 – Specify Points, Category and Calculation Type
In step 3, each content item must be assigned its appropriate category and point value. Select the appropriate category from the Categories drop-down menu and type the appropriate point value in the Points field for each content item on the page.

Select the appropriate option from the Calculation Type field to determine whether the student grade for each content item should be calculated based on the student’s first submission, last submission, average score, maximum score, or entered manually.

Step 4 – Setup Grading Scale
The final step allows the course editor to optionally configure a grading scale for the course gradebook. To configure a grading scale, select the Grading Scale link and type a letter grade and the minimum percentage required to receive the letter grade in the appropriate fields.

Click the Finish button to complete the gradebook setup. The Gradebook menu interface will display.
