[ARCHIVED] how to assign different percentages to individual assignments within a group assignment?

[pilarfm]

I have a group assignment (Final Project 35% of final grade) which as three sections (3 separate assignments). Each section is worth a different percentage and I want to grade each section based on 100 points per assignment.

Final project is 35% of final grade (Section 1= 5%, Section 2= 15%, Section 3 = 15%)

How do I enter this into Canvas so that the weighted grade is recorded in the gradebook?

In Canvas, you can have Assignment Groups, but not Assignment Subgroups. In order for your final grade to be weighted properly, I would suggest the following Assignment Groups:

Assignments - 65%  (or however you have broken this down)

Final Exam Section 1 - 5%

Final Exam Section 2 - 15%

Final Exam Section 3 - 15%

In the future, if you want just one Assignment Group for your Final Exam, then you'll need to work on your point system. For example:

Final Exam Section 1 - 10 points

Final Exam Section 2 - 30 points

Final Exam Section 3 - 30 points

Hi @pilarfm ...

I like @SusanNiemeyer's suggestion!  (I would have suggested something very similar, too.)  If you are not familiar with how to set up assignment groups, here are a couple Guides for you that walk you through the process:

• How do I add an assignment group in a course?
• How do I weight the final course grade based on assignment groups?

Hope this helps a bit!

if assignments have different point values, but I "display" them as percentages, will they still not all have the same value? Do all my assignments in a group have to have the same point total to carry the same weight? This is impossible for them to all utlize the same rubric. I would have to enter everything as percentages (based on 100 point) in order for them to be weighed equally within the group.

Can't they just say "make all assignments in this group have the same weight"?
