Canvas: Assignment Groups
Setting up Assignment Groups allows you to better organize the different types of assignments you use in your course. You can also use Assignment Groups to set up a "weighted" final course grade.
Here is how:
Create assignment groups
- Click Assignments in the course navigation menu.
- Click +Group.
- Enter the first Group Name in the field provided. Note that until you've indicated that you will use "weighted" assignment groups, the % of the total grade field is grayed out.
- Click Save.
- Repeat steps 2-4 until you've created all desired assignment groups.
"Weight" final course grade based on assignment groups
- Click Assignments in the course navigation menu.
Click the 3-vertical dots icon near the top of the page.
- Click the checkbox to indicate that you want to weight final grade based on assignment groups.
- Enter the percentage weights for each assignment group you've created.
- Click Save.
