Creating and managing gradebook categories

Gradebook items must belong to a gradebook category. Categories provide a way for you to organize, view, and weight different types of class work. CourseCompass provides a number of categories you can choose from, such as Exam, Paper, and Homework. You can also create your own categories. By default, gradebook items created for assignments you add to a content area are placed in the Assignments category. Tests and surveys you add to a content area are placed in the Exam category.
