[Assignments] Assignments within weighted groups treated with equal value regardless of points

Please excuse the verbose title.

 

Our faculty want the option to have assignments within an assignment group to be given the same weight even if they are graded on different point values.

 

For example:

 

Assignment Group = Homework  25% of final grade

 

Homework 1 10 pts

Homework 2 15 pts

Homework 3 10 pts

 

etc.

 

Currently, the homework #2 which is worth 15 points will have a larger influence over the grade than homeworks 1 or 3. We can encourage faculty to grade all assignments within a group on the same point-value scale, but there are 3,000 of them and four of us. Additionally, our previous LMS, Blackboard, allowed the user to opt to weigh all of the assignments WITHIN a group equally. Faculty are very upset by this lack in functionality ESPECIALLY when they become aware of the miscalculation right before final grades are due.

 

Thanks,
