Hi Helen

 

I think the "Calculate as running total" check box should be ticked to provide the functionality your colleague is after.  This is located immediately below the main "SELECT COLUMNS" area when you’re editing the weighted column.

 

"A running total only includes items that have grades or attempts. Selecting No includes all items in the calculations, using a value of 0 for an item if there is no grade."

Hi,

 

I’ve been asked by an academic about the best way to create an average across some grade centre columns.  She has a series of lab tests and students are not required to complete all of them.  She would like to create an average mark of the tests attempted, without being marked down for the ones that they haven’t attempted. 

 

Is this possible within Blackboard do you know?  I’m aware that I can create a calculated column, but not sure how to get around the “only tests attempted” criteria.

 

Many thanks in anticipation

 

Helen
