You only need to do this once if you have your sections linked together! Feedback is still important, however as the students will receive this feedback at the end of the course, this feedback will not help them improve for this. This will need to be done for each category. To make this adjustment, simply click on the name of the category and change the “Calculated By” option to Total Points. This should actually be changed to calculate the grade by total points (see below). Schoology by default calculates the grade within each category as a percentage. The other thing to check is how the Categories themselves calculate the grades. The year grade is only given during the last term of the year. The semester grade is only given during the last term of the semester. It also includes the final exam grade, semester grade, and the final grade for the year. The class grades report shows every student’s grade for the term. If they do not, simply change the percentages. Gradekeeper can also display a variety of reports. If you click on the Grade Setup button on the left menu within your course, you can double check to see if there weights of your categories line up here as well with what is in Skyward.

There are two things to check in the Grade Setup area of your Schoology course as well.

If they percentages do not match, simply correct it on this screen. Please verify that the percentages match what is in Skyward. This is the configuration that maps Schoology and Skyward together. Please verify your grade categories are weighted correctly on the Schoology/Skyward Configuration screen. Verify the Categories Are Weighted Properly in the Schoology/Skyward Configuration Screen However, there are two things you can check to make sure that your grades are appearing the same in both places. In essence, Skyward is the “correct” grade calculation because this is where report cards are generated from. There are times where we find that Schoology does not show the exact same grade that Skyward is showing.
