Gradebook--How do I show a Grade that is Extra Credit?

Hi Everyone--How do I show points for an Extra Credit Assignment?

[kmeeusen · Accepted solution]

Hi  @pameshelman 

I create an assignment that is worth zero points, then in the assignment  instructions I inform the students of how many potential extra credit points the students can earn. I also create a grading rubric, and clearly mark the assignment as optional (In the assignment title, in the syllabus, and in my posted schedule of studies).

I hope this is helpful,
