Overall Grades can be used to take previous grades in the gradebook, as shown in individual-item columns, and aggregate them in order to calculate a final grade total based on specific criteria. Using a Overall Grade can save an instructor considerable work in calculating overall grades throughout the semester, and provide a student with a quick snapshot of their progress. To create an Overall Grade, navigate to the Gradebook. If you have not already done so, the bottom of the gradebook will have a specialized button prompting you to set up an Overall Grade.
