The Blackboard Grade Center allows you to set up running totals, which show the student their current course grade.
When calculating final grades using Total or Weighted Columns you should select No for the running total for each column unless you are want all missing assignments to be forgiven or not count toward a student's grade.Apr 18, 2012
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.Jan 20, 2022
The Total column is the sum of all grade columns (the numerical score of all grade columns added together). Exempted items are ignored; calculated columns and Ungraded items are not included. You can change the column's settings and the columns included at any time; calculations update automatically.
Under the Select Columns section, click on a column or category to include in the weighted grade. Use the arrow to move the selected column or category to the Selected Columns area. Enter the percentage of the overall grade for the column or category. Next to Calculate as Running Total, select either Yes or No.Mar 30, 2020
The running grade is the average of the grades that you've entered, and does not take into account outstanding assignments for which you have not entered grades.Jan 18, 2018
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.
If you set up a Weighted Total, then it does not matter how many total points there are possible in the course assignments; there could be 100 points total, or 450, or 2175 for all the assignments. The final grade will be calculated proportionately according to the weighting scheme.

Multiply the grade on the assignment by the grade weight. In the example, 85 times 20 percent equals 17 and 100 times 80 percent equals 80. Add together all your weighted grades to find your overall grade. In the example, 17 points plus 80 points equals a weighted grade of 97.Apr 24, 2017
