Why would I use a Total calculation column?
A Calculation column can be used to calculate the total points for sequenced assessments such as weekly quizzes or reflections.

- Click on the New Calculation Title and enter a meaningful title. e.g Total quiz mark.
- Select Points from the Select a mark schema drop-down box.
- Uncheck the Calculate marks based on points earned out of total marked points checkbox.
Note: this setting is unchecked so that all required assessments are included in the grade calculation and assumes that if a task does not have a mark recorded it is treated as though the student has received a mark of zero (0) for that task.
