The Grading Categories feature allows you to control how much an assignment is worth based on assignment type. With CodeHS Pro, you can set up weighted grading categories and assign each module, lesson, or activity a grading category.

One way to access Grading Categories is from your Gradebook. From the Progress page, choose Gradebook and click the dark gray Configure button to open the Configure Your Gradebook modal:
