Weight for Bonus Item in Grade Category

Hi Everyone,

What weight should a bonus item in a weighted category be assigned?

Thanks in advance.

@Allison.C.6046 If you want the bonus item to act like extra credit points in a weighted system, divide the bonus item points by the total points of the regular items in the category, e.g. if the bonus item is worth 10 points and there are 500 points in the category (not including any bonus points), then weight the item at 10/500 = 0.02 or 2%.

Here's our extra credit gradebook tips for more information.
