I think I will follow your suggestion and enter the quiz grades as points. I want to be sure, though, that his will not mess with the calculation of the weighted total. Am I correct in assuming that it's no problem to have only one of my categories entered as points, and the rest as letter grades?

Okay, that makes sense. So if I enter individual grades as letters, and not as points, there is no way the percentage can be over 100%, even for purposes of calculating the weighted total?

Mike, I am trying to calculate a weighted total. I enter letter grades, which correspond to certain percentages in my schema. It's my understanding that even if you enter in points in a column (which I don't), the points are converted to percentages, and then percentages are used when calculating the weighted total. The same happens with letter

But let's say I do what you suggest and enter the quiz scores (and only quiz scores) as scores instead of letter grades, and let's say that a student's total percentage for all quizzes is 102% (they got some bonus questions

What would happen if I set only the reading quizzes, and no other assignments, to points schema? How will the Grade Book factor the points into other categories that are all letter

I use letter grades only in Bb. (Since the point values are irrelevant, I enter a value of 1 for every assignment.) Each letter grade corresponds to a percentage in my letter schema. I'm trying to figure out how to add extra credit to quiz scores in my class if I don't use points. In my category 'reading quizzes', there are about 30
