Step 5
Within the Grade Calculations section instructors have two options on how to handle ungraded items:
- Drop ungraded items: Excludes ungraded items from the calculation of grades. For example, this option will drop any assignment yet to be assigned, but is in the gradebook for future use in a term. This option will keep student grades more accurate throughout a semester.
- Treat ungraded items as 0: Assigns a value of 0 as the points received for all ungraded item. This option is useful at the end of a semester if you would like all uncompleted student assignments that were ungraded for any reason as 0s.
*Note: The Drop ungraded items option is especially useful when the Automatically keep final grades updated option is checked, because it won't take into account grade items yet to be assigned/completed.
