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

One way to access the Grading Categories feature is from your Gradebook app.

In the Gradebook app, click the Settings tool in the top navigation menu > then scroll down to the Grade Calculations section:

To do this, navigate to the Configure app under the Assignments category in the left-hand navigation menu > then click the Grading Settings tool in the top navigation menu. Each module, lesson and assignment will have an option for Grading Category.

Select the category (i.e. homework, exams, participation) using the drop-down menu:
