Unfortunately extra credit cannot be directly added into weighted totals with perfect mathematical accuracy. Instead, extra credit points may be manually added to the final score using a custom grade center column. For more details, see the Extra Credit FAQ page.
To remove weighting from the Grade Center, simply delete the Weighted Total column and use the Total column. Note that the Weighted Total column cannot be deleted if it set to be the External Grade; in this case, first set the Total column to be the External Grade by clicking the Action Link in the Total column and selecting Set as External Grade.
Proportional vs. Equal weighting is a setting when you weight by category. It only makes a difference if you have columns with different points possible in the same category (e.g. a Discussion category with columns worth 5 points and columns worth 10 points). If all of the columns in the category are equal, both settings work the same way.
Grades can be weighted both equally and proportionally in Blackboard depending on the point values of each grade center column. Using the Weighted Total Column will allow application of weighted percentages (rather than a summed total of points which is the Total Column’s function).

Faculty should contact MTS for assistance scheduling or implementing classroom technology (2-Way interactive video classrooms, Smart Podiums, laptops, etc.), for setting up WebEx accounts, or for scheduling and instruction for a wide variety of media equipment and resources like LCD data projectors, CD/cassette players, TVs and VCRs, digital video, and more.
These are all the columns in the Grade Center. You can add Columns to Select and they can be added to the Weighted Grade total. This could be for a single assignment that is due that does not require a Category.
Once you have categorized all of your assessments , you can now assign the categories to the appropriate Grade Center columns . You will need to do this for every assessment and assignment column.
