How Weighted Grading Works in Canvas
When you weight grades in Canvas, you weight them for each assignment group. The raw percentage of points that a student earned is multiplied by the weight, and that is the final value for the group.
For example, consider three assignment groups (A, B and C) weighted at 20%, 30%, and 50%. The total score would be (percentage A x weight A) + (percentage B x weight B) + (percentage C x weight C). If a student scored 87% in group A, 95% in group B, and 84% in group C, their final score would be (.87 * .20) + (.95 * .30) + (.84 * .50) = .879, or 87.9%.
Using Weighted Grading
- Navigate to the Assignments page.
- Click the Options icon to the right of the + Assignment button.
- Check the Weight final grade based on assignment groups checkbox.
A list of your assignment groups will appear, with percentages next to each. Enter the appropriate weights for each group.
