4. Select the small icon to “Add a New Test” (this is for adding ANY assignment, not just tests).


==== 5. A new column will open with two asterisks. Enter the name of the assignment (HW, Quiz, Test, etc.) in the Name row. Enter the detailed description in the Long Name row (I recommend numbering the Name—i.e. HW 1, HW 2, etc.—if you’re assigning generic names, this way students will be able to identify missing work easily, as the Name and the Long Name are separate in reports!). In the Date row, enter the date of the assignment (it will default to today’s date, but change it to date assigned as this will be easier for students). ====

==== 6.In the Category row, type the name of the general type of assignment (i.e. Homework, Quiz, Test, Participation, etc.). A “Weighting” box will open every time you enter a new category. (If it doesn't, you need to click on "Grading," then "Weighting," and then check the "Weight Categories" box.) Select your new category by clicking on it once, enter the percentage you weight it to calculate your grades, click “Change,” then click “OK.” ====
