Different Weights for Highest and Lowest Exam Scores

[AzharulIslam]

Hello,

Is there a way to assign different weights to exams based on student performance, for example, counting the higher-scoring exam as 70% and the lower-scoring exam as 30%? Thank you.

Hello @AzharulIslam!

To assign different weights to exams, please refer to the How do I add a grading scheme to an assignment? guide.

@AzharulIslam It sounds like you may want weights to differ student by student, for example Student A did better on Exam 1, so it counts for 70% for them, vice versa for Student B. Canvas has no feature to do that. Calculations outside of Canvas would be necessary. Exporting to CSV and working in Excel might be the best way to go.
