This guide explains how to set up the Blackboard Gradebook to drop a grade from a group of scores, such as removing the lowest quiz score from a semester’s worth of grades. The process involves categorizing the group, creating a calculated item, and configuring the necessary settings.
These instructions assume items to be dropped are properly assigned to a category.
Steps to Drop Scores in the Gradebook:
- From the Blackboard Ultra course, navigate to Gradebook and Select Overall Grade and click Edit.
2. Select the category from which scores will be dropped and click Edit Calculation Rules.
3. Click Enable to activate the calculation rule.
4. Select Drop Scores and specify how many scores to drop (highest or lowest).
5. Click Continue. The category will now reflect the updated calculation rule.
6. Click Save to apply the changes.
This process ensures that the Gradebook will automatically drop the lowest or highest scores from the selected category, updating the overall grade accordingly.
