Modifications to Assignment Type and Weights/Points depend on whether the Gradebook
displays in points or percentages.
Percentage
By default, in Percentage mode, Assignment Type weights are distributed as
follows:
- Exams – 34%
- Training – 33%
- Projects – 33%
- SAM Path – 0% (if selected with the SAM Path scoring options)
- New Custom Assignment – 0%
Note If an Assignment Type is empty, i.e., it contains no assignments, the Assignment
Type displays in Gradebook with a single placeholder assignment. Red text displays
with the name No Assignments.
