About Bonus Points

Add points to a course without it counting towards the weight like normal assignments do.

If your class awards bonus as a percentage, you will need to convert to points before adding it to Gradebook.

Examples

  • Class has 200 points and you earn 5 bonus points. Enter 5 to the Bonus section in Gradebook.
  • Class has 200 points and you earn a 3% bonus. Take 3% of 200 to find the equivalent bonus in points: 0.03*200 = 6. Enter 6 to the Bonus section in Gradebook.
  • Class has 100 points and you earn a 5% bonus. 5% of 100 is still 5, so enter 5 to the bonus section in Gradebook.
