[ARCHIVED] changing the grade weight for a Pearson homework assignments

[StephenBryant01]

Greetings Everyone:

I have a course linked to Pearson's MyLab Brady.  There are a lot of homework assignments, pretests, readings ect.   I have noticed that the chapter Pretest in Pearson greatly impact the students overall grade.  Is there a way to take that entire category of assignments and change the impact on the overall student average?

Hi @StephenBryant01!

If Pearson is creating an assignment in your Canvas course then you can weight your groups to change how they impact the grade. You will set a value for each group and then move assignments to the group that best reflects their value.

Have a look at the Canvas guide for group weighting.

Hope this helps!
