How do I create a Total Points Earned column in the Ultra gradebook?

Tell Me

  1. Access your Ultra course and select the gradebook from the top right menu.

  2. Select your preferred view of the gradebook: Gradable Items (list of all assessments) or Grades (spreadsheet)

  3. Click the purple (+) to add a Calculation.

     

  4. Name the calculated column – for example, Total Points Earned – and set the column's visibility so students can see it.



  5. Select Total from the Functions & Variables column.

     

  6. Expand the Total variable and select categories and/or individual assignments to tally up the total points earned in the course. 

     

  7. Click the Validate link above the Functions & Variables column to test your calculation. If it is configured properly, you will see a green check mark.



  8. Click the purple X in the top left corner of the panel to close.

You can mix categories and assignments in a Calculation. Anything earned by the student in these categories or assignments will feed into this calculated total.
