@Jane.P.943 The category will indicate 0 total points if it only contains bonus items since they are all extra credit and those extra points are added on to the final grade after the regular calculation is done. You will need to check Can Exceed in the category settings for students to earn the extra points. You may also want to check Can Exceed on the final grade item if you want to allow students to earn more than 100% in the class.
Thank you for your prompt response. If I understand you correctly, the mistake I made was creating a separate category for extra credit because I don't want them added on after their final grade is calculated. (That's a lot of points.) I assumed they would be added on to total points earned and then divided by the total points possible. I'm going to try moving the extra credit into a different assessment category and check "may exceed."
