[ARCHIVED] [ARCHIVED] Is there a way for Ss to tell which assignments are in which groups?

Scenario: Assignments category is hidden. Instructor has 6 assignment groups and multiple assignments in each group, all worth 100 points. Each assignment group is weighted anywhere from 5% to 30%. How does a student tell if Assignment A, worth 100 points, is in the category weighed at 5% or 30%?

This can easily be accomplished by a transparent syllabus and directions, but I was looking more for a tag or label. For example, when a student clicks on Assignment A, the category would be displayed at the top alongside total points and due date.

What a great question,  @zal5010 ! In all the years I've been using weighted assignment groups, I never thought of this. So, I checked Student View and saw that, on a browser at least, when a student navigates to the Grades tab and hovers over an assignment title, the assignment group displays directly underneath. And, of course, the weightings for each group are listed at the bottom of the grades list.

Oh well, would you like at that! Thanks for testing and figuring this out. This is definitely helpful. Gracias!

¡De nada!

Another way students can get this information is if the Instructor has the "Assignments" page visible. If so then students can go to the Assignments page and sort by "Type." This organizes the assignments by assignment group and shows the weight for each group.

Yes, but we have the Assignments page hidden in this course.

Whoops, sorry, missed that in your original post!
