The minimum/maximum column is a type of calculated column that displays either the minimum or maximum grade for a selection of columns. For example, you can find the minimum score on all tests, but only show it in the Grade Center grid and not to your students on their My Grades pages.
Instructors have a greater level of precision and transparency in calculations, so they can choose to round up as appropriate when giving a final grade or in compliance with institutional policies that support rounding up.
The WEIGHTED TOTAL column enables instructors to set the weight (or value) of individual assignments and assignment categories independent of the number of points in an assignment. If you set every assignment to 100 points but count one assignment as 10% and another as 25%, this is the column for you.
The grade center in Blackboard can be used to calculate final grades. Depending on your grading schema, you can use the Total Column or Weighted Column to calculate grades.Mar 30, 2020
It has gained increasing popularity in recent years, largely in response to the phenomenon known as grade inflation. The name refers to the fact that three of the four highest letter grades have a range of eight points, while the remaining one spans seven points.

Weighted grades appear to benefit students in most cases. Weighted grading systems foster equity and encourage students to take the more challenging classes. There is no consistency among schools on how classes are waived, which classes may be waived, or how waived classes figure into a student's Grade Point Average.
Weighted Total vs. Total: the two columns are created by default in every Blackboard space. The Total column shows the number of points attained out of the total possible. The Weighted Total shows the current total as determined by the weighting scheme set in the Edit Column Information page as above.
A weighted total is a calculated column. It calculates a final grade by assigning weights to a student's various assessment grades. This is done to give more or less importance to particular assessments when calculating a final grade. Weights can be assigned to individual columns or categories of columns.Jan 20, 2022
