Can assignments weighted as zero show up in student report?

3 comments

Is there a way that I can have assignments that are weighted zero to show up in the student report. I would like students to be able to see their pop quiz marks but they don't count towards their final grade. I realize an alternative is to create two sheets but I was hoping to have them all on one.

Thanks,

Brad Dixon

I have added a feature request to add this option in the settings menu:

 

Include 0 weights in report (YES/NO)

 

I will reply here if this feature becomes available.

I have a question along this same vein. When I give quizzes, I often let students correct the quiz and earn half credit for the questions they correct. I enter the original grade so I can track that, but I don't want it to be calculated. Rather, I want to use the corrected quiz score for the real grade. On my previous grade system, I was able to basically exempt an entire assignment so that it wouldn't be factored into their average, but was still there for us both to see. Is there a way to do this? I tried changing the category weight on the original quiz assignment to 0 and that did NOT look right on the calculations. Thanks!

@Amy Estep Hi Amy,

I hope I am understanding you correctly, you want to exempt an assignment? You can change the weight of the assignment to zero (not the category weight) which should work, or you can exempt students from the assignment using these instructions:

Please let su know if this works.

    How to use weights?

    This school year I've been using the Google Classroom mark book. For my class I have four categories, each one of them counting as 25% of the final grade. Each assignment in a given category is weighted according to the number of points. The Google Classroom mark book correctly calculates the final grade. I am trialing the GradeBook for Google Sheets, but after importing the same classroom into the gradebook, and setting up the categories, total points etc. the final grade is way lower than it should be. Why?

    Grade Discrepancy

    For three of the four classes that I have, there is a vast discrepancy between the Final Grade that appears in GradeBook for Google Sheets and the Overall Grade in Google Classroom. For the fourth class, the grade is close but not exact. Please advise soonest.

    grade inconsistency/duplicate student

    I've already noticed that there is a big gap between the grades on Google Classroom and those on Gradebook but I'm also noticing that the first student in the class is repeated so I'm wondering if that might be why?
