Create a calculated grade item

Calculated grade items are a fast and easy way to total up selected grade items to produce a new grade item. For example, a calculated grade item might show the total for all of the quizzes taken thus far or perhaps a midterm grade. The teacher selects which items to include in the calculation from a list of all the available grade items in the grade book.

Calculated grade items cannot be associated with course objects such as discussions, quizzes, and assignments.
