How do I add an extra credit assignment?
-
Create a new assignment with zero points possible and select any submission type. Assignments set to the No Submission type work well for classroom activities, such as extra credit in-class discussions or presentations.
-
After students submit their assignment, you can add and adjust points in the Gradebook.
-
Note: For a zero-point assignment to factor into a student's grade, you must add a positive point value to at least one additional assignment in any assignment group.
-
You can also add extra points to an Assignment you've already created and graded by manually entering extra points in the Gradebook.
-
You can add extra credit using a rubric in SpeedGrader by entering a point value that is greater than the points possible for a criterion. The Total Points calculation will reflect any extra points awarded for each Criterion.
How do I add extra credit to a discussion?
- Extra credit can be given in discussions and assignments by awarding points over the set point value.
