Thanks for this! Have been struggling for years to help my students understand how this works. The visuals in your video will be quite helpful.

This is brilliant. Thank you, thank you for this video. I'm a new instructor, and I've always struggled with the weighted grades concept. Your explanation was easy to follow and showed your depth of knowledge.
I plan on sharing this with my students

Thank you, Brent! I've linked this video to my university Blackboard course sites after my syllabi! This will cut down on questions tremendously!

Okay thanks for this because I have been confused as to why my total 685.5/890 in my class is somehow 63% and not 73%

1.) Okay so basically weighted grades are how much the assignments are worth in percentages. Ex: in ur video HW is worth 15%, Quizzes are 35%, and Essays are 50%. Did I get that


2.) Another question is if you have tests do those count in the Quiz category or their own category???? Or is the category named Tests and quizzes are in that category????
