Grading with percentages

[rmurphy1]

How do I create percentages for grades on Canvas.  Example:  projects are worth 60%, tests 20%, sketchbook 20%.  They each have points, mid-term & final test are each worth 50 points, but totally worth 20% of total grade.

Hello  @rmurphy1  Welcome to the Canvas Community.  Thank you for posting your question.  It sounds like you may want to set up Assignment Groups to weight your assignments.

1. First, set up your Assignment Groups called "Project", "Tests", and "Sketchbooks", etc.  How do I add an assignment group in a course?
2. Next, create new or move existing assignments into these Assignment Groups.  How do I create an assignment shell in an assignment group?
3. Finally, set the grade weights for each of these Assignment Groups: How do I weight the final course grade based on assignment groups?

Do you think these resources will help for your needs?  Please let Community members know...thanks!
