Can teachers set their own grading categories?
To facilitate the initial configuration process for teachers, each individual teacher’s Gradebook is setup with the following default category groups and weights. (1) Assignments=40% (2) Homework=20% (3) Class Participation=10% (4) Quizzes=10% (5) Exams=10% (6) Projects=10% The default category values listed above should provide CPS teachers with a useful baseline. However, teachers have the flexibility to add/delete categories and adjust weights to accommodate their unique classroom model. The IMPACT team highly recommends that teachers solidify their Gradebook categories before adding individual assignments. Deleting a Gradebook category deletes all assignments associated with that category.
