Assigning categories to gradable items is crucial for setting up calculations
When creating assignments and tests, the categories will automatically be applied to these gradable items.
However, when you use Cengage, Gradescope, H5P, Macmillan learning, MATLab, McGrawHill, Numbas, Pearsons or Turnitin assignments, no category will be allocated. Please follow the steps below to apply the correct category to the assessments.
Gradable items will automatically appear in the gradebook linked to a category. There are eight default categories in Ultra: Attendance, Assignment, Test, Discussion, Journal, Exam, Form, Homework, Presentation, and Quiz.
Each time you create a graded item in your course, you have the option to change the grade category, allowing the item to be grouped into one of the custom gradebook categories.
The categories for each gradable item displays on the Gradable Items tab.
How to create a custom category
On the Gradebook Settings panel, select the custom category from the Grade Categories menu.
You can add your own categories based on the assessment needs of your modules. To create a new Gradebook category, select the Settings icon in the Gradebook. In the Gradebook Settings panel, choose "Add New Category" and enter a name.
These categories will assist you in setting up Current Grade and performing calculations.
You can delete the category you added or rename it by clicking on the three dots next to the category name.
