setting up gradebook

Zuzanna.F.655

I set up a categorie QUIZZES which includes 11 items (Quiz 1-Quiz 11). 3 questions about that step:

1. I would like only 10 out of the 11 quizes to count toward the final grade (I would like the quiz with the lowest score to be automatically dropped. How do I set it up.
2. I put my gradebook as points. every quiz is worth 10 points, however, the total of all 10 quizzes (100 possible points) should account for only 30% of the final grade. How do I set this up?
3. If the quizzes have extra credit questions, will I be able to input a grade higher than 10 points per quiz?

Thank you!

Hi Zuzanna,
Responses to each for you below:

1. When in Grades and creating/editing the Category, under Grading > Distribution try options as shown below. The question mark icons provide you additional information for each setting
2. You can use a Weighted Grading System to achieve this outcome see Grading systems types
3. Yes, when creating the Grade Item in which the quiz score will be captured select the Can Exceed option under Grading. This option allows a users' grades to exceed the maximum points specified for the item.
   The following resource will be helpful Manage Grades in the Grades tool
   

Hope that helps!
