Creating the Overall Grade

  1. If you have not yet created the Overall Grade Column in your Gradebook, click the Settings icon in the top right corner of the Gradebook page.

  2. From the side-menu that appears, scroll down and select Set up overall grade.

  3. For the Overall Grade calculation, there are 3 options: Points, Weighted, and Advanced. You can click the highlighted “Show example” to view a sample of how each would calculate.

For detailed instructions for using the Advanced column, please refer to: Gradebook Calculations.

4. Select an Overall Grade calculation method, then click Next.

Calculating the Overall Grade

The Overall Grade page will display all course assessments (by category) which are available for overall grade calculation.

1. To view the assessment items included in a category, click the drop-down arrow.

2. To remove a category or individual assessment from the calculation, select the Exclude (or null) symbol. When an item is excluded, the Exclude symbol will be highlighted purple. Click the symbol again to re-include it.

3. To remove an assessment from it’s category (for Overall Grade calculation only), click the Unlink symbol. This removes the assessment from the category drop-down and allowing it to be given its own percentage, separate from the category. (To re-add the item to the category, click the Unlink symbol again).

4. Use the % text box to input the weight of a given category or assessment. Click the Lock symbol to lock the percentage value while you are adjusting the other percentages.

5. The total weight will be displayed below the assessments. Please note that if the total percentage does not add up to 100%, Ultra will not allow you to save your progress.
