Creating an Ungraded Activity

This tutorial will help you set up an ungraded activity that shows in your gradebook. (Forums can be set to "ungraded" and Quizzes can be set to have 0 points, but this means that neither of these activities will show up in your Gradebook.)

Step 1	Navigate to your course's gradebook setup area by clicking on the gear icon in the upper right corner of your course, then clicking Gradebook setup.
Step 2	Whether you are using a Natural or Weighted Grade set up, you will follow the same steps. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the Add category button.
Step 3	On the resulting screen, type a name in the Category name area, such as "Ungraded Items."
Step 4	Next, click Save changes. Note: you may see a screen that says "Recalculating grades" with a Continue button. Click this to return to the gradebook.
Step 5	Next, it's time to move the item you want to be ungraded into the new "Ungraded Items" category. Locate the item you wish to be ungraded. In that item's row, click the checkbox under Select.
Step 6	Scroll to the bottom of the page, and use the drop down menu next to Move selected items to: and choose the new category you made. When you release the mouse after clicking the new category, the item(s) will automatically move to that category. Note: you may see a screen that says "Recalculating grades" with a Continue button. Click this to return to the gradebook.
Step 7	The last step is to ensure that the "Ungraded Items" category is truly ungraded. In the box next to the title of the category, enter "0" and then click Save changes at the bottom of the screen. If you find you are unable to edit this box, check the little checkbox to the left of the box to make it editable. Be sure to click Save changes. This set up means the gradebook will assign 0 weight to anything in this category.
