Today’s Tip is:
How to create a new category in the Grade Center
Categories are specially helpful when you have many columns in your grade center and you need to weight them quickly. For example, items in the Exam Category may have a greater weight than items in the Assignment category.
When you create a new column you don’t have to modify you weighted column to add it. Just make sure when you create the column you select the category it belongs to.
1. Go to the control panel
