Field Name	Definition
Normal/Advanced	Clicking the Advanced option displays all of the category options.
Title	The Title is used to identify the assignment.
Description	The Description is used to describe the assignment.
Category	The Category is used to associate the type of category with the assignment.
Points	The Points field allows you to type a value for the assignment.
Display Format	The Display Format allows you to use a different display format for the assignment grade than the gradebook default (specified in Gradebook Preferences).
Calculation Type	The Calculation Type option is intended to be used in combination with the Associated Content Items option. If the gradebook assignment has one or more associated content items, then the Calculation Type option should be used to determine which content item grade should be used to update the gradebook assignment. Since many content items can be graded multiple times, and multiple content items can be associated with the same gradebook assignment, you have four options for obtaining a grade: Average Score, Maximum Score, First Submission, Last Submission, and Manual. Average Score uses an average of all scores submitted. Maximum Score uses the highest of all scores submitted. First Submission uses the first score submitted. Last Submission uses the last (most recent) score submitted. The calculation type of Manual requires the instructor to type a score manually.
Extra Credit	The Extra Credit checkbox configures the category to be calculated as extra credit.
Associated Content Items	See Calculation Type
