Revising Assignment Title, Possible Points, and Category

The assignment title, possible points, and category can be revised. This option can also automatically adjust the number of students points earned on an assignment. After selecting the class and assignment, the current information is automatically entered into the edit boxes. You could correct the spelling or change the category. If the possible points (weight) was changed, and numerical scores were previously recorded for the assignment, you must indicate if you want to adjust the student points. Clicking the Continue button completes this selection.

Adjusting Student Points

You would not mark the check box for adjusting student points if you had made a mistake and just wanted to correct this value. You would mark the check box if you wanted to change the assignment weight. For example if the displayed assignment is worth 20 points, you could change the possible points to 40 to double the weight. If the check box is marked, every student's numerical score would be adjusted. For example, if a student had previously scored 15 out of 20 points, and the possible points were doubled to 40 points, the student's grade would automatically double to a score of 30 out of 40 points.

If letter grades were entered previously for this assignment, the grades are automatically adjusted when the new weight is multiplied by the numerical equivalent.
