Hey, so this problem might be recurring, but I'm having a problem with Points Possible. I built a weighted column that reads several categories, and SHOULD total at 400 points. If I make a total column, with the same categories, it will say 400 points.

This column, however, says 80 points, and I'm not quite sure why. Students, when checking their grades might get confused as to what their grade is if they see all the discussions, for example, totaling at 60 points, the assignments totaling at 40, exams at 200, etc., but the total for the course is only 80.

Any help would be lovely.

Thanks,

Hi John - this has been brought up a couple of times. I think the weight of the column is getting applied to the total points making it seem off. See this thread http://discussions.blackboard.com/forums/p/49672/152171.aspx#152171 you may want to submit a ticket to Bb.
