Student reports need to show weights

@John Shaughnessy

I'm not sure it would work that way if I am understanding correctly. For example if the category weight was 10 and we had:

Assignment 1 - weight 20

Assignment 2 - weight 30

then weight inputted for assignment 1 / category weight would be:

20/10 = 2 (what would this represent?)

Since weighting is a relative scale, the true weighting of Assignment 1 would be:

20 / (20 + 30) = 20 / 50 = 0.4 or 40% of the category.

To calculate the weight of assignment 1 of the final grade would be tricky.

I hope I am understanding your suggestion correctly.

@Gdev apps

I am also really interested in having this feature in the reports for gradebook.

In your example, if assignment 1 was 40% of the category, you could multiply it by the percentage that the category represents of the final grade. You mentioned a weight of 10 but that could be turned into a percentage fairly easily.

Example: If we have 2 categories yours with a weight of 10 and another with a weight of 5, then your category makes up 10/(10+5)=0.667 or 66.7%

In this example, assignment 1 would make up the following percentage of the grade:

0.4*0.667=0.267 or 26.7%?

So even if the weighting isn't displayed, a percentage of course grade display would be useful I think.

@Ryan Tabone Current percentage of course grade is possible but there would need to be some additional checks.

For example:

Example: If we have 2 categories yours with a weight of 10 and another with a weight of 5, then your category makes up 10/(10+5)=0.667 or 66.7%

If there are no entires in the 2nd category then category 1 actually makes up 100% of the course.

We can certainly look into adding percentage of course, however we would like to make sure all cases are handled so the final mark is accurate.

I have added it to our feature request list.
