In a point-based system, each assignment holds equal weight, simplifying calculations and providing a straightforward evaluation. On the other hand, weighted grading allows you to assign different values to assignments based on their significance, reflecting the relative importance of each task. Select the grading method that suits your instructional needs, promotes fairness, and provides clarity for both you and your students. Just remember to choose either point-based or weighted grading, as combining both approaches can lead to complexity and confusion. Section | Column | | width | 50%|||||||||||
