Hello everyone, does anybody know how to arrange the grades so that it counts the highest of two assignments?

If you go to Assignments, find a group of assignments that you wish to set a rule to. Click the gear icon next to the plus sign attached to that group and select edit. You'll notice that it will say "Number of scores to ignore for each student." It will basically not count the number of assignments that have either the lowest or highest scores. Since you want the two highest, subtract 2 from the number of assignments you have. I.e. if you want the two highest to count, and you have 6 assignments total, type 4 in the lowest scores box. This will exclude the bottom 4 assignments and only "grade" the top two. I hope this helps.
Thank you. That really helped.
Is it possible to do the same thing for quizzes? Quizzes do not have the same link.
Assuming your quizzes are graded, they would should up under assignments anyway. So simply make a group called quizzes, drag them in there, and then apply the same process that I mentioned before. You just can't do so directly under the quiz navigation.
