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, 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 enter a score manually.
- Select the Extra Credit checkbox if you want this assignment to be extra credit.
- On the right side of the Assignment Editor, select any content items that you want to associate to this assignment.
- Click the Save button. The assignment is added to the Assignments page.
