Hi This has been an interesting discussion and being an off and on software developer I can relate to the problem of trying to pile code on top of code in midstream. I use the "Socratic Method" in my introductory physics class and quite often a particular section will veer off onto a tangential, but relevant topic / activity and because of that my sections quite often have different total points than the original syllabus delicti and I have always just "added in another column". Speaking to that end I found the following post to be efficacious and did a thumbs up for the OP. Michela, there's no reason you can't just add these two things with a grade to the gradebook. You just need to add it via the "Assignment Index Page."   1. Go to Assignments page (on the left navigational link). 2. Go to the assignment group you'd like to add your final participation grade or e-workbook grade and click the "+" button. 3. On the box that pops up leave the type as "Assignment," give it a name (ex: Participation grade), due date (optional), and the number of points the assignment is worth. Click "Save & Publish." 4. Go to your gradebook (Grades on the left navigational link) and you'll see your new Assignment listed and you'll be able to enter in the total points earned.   Hope this helps! Thanks to Michela.
