How to Set the Default Value of Quizzes/ Assignments as Zero?

Categories:

To ensure the accuracy of the final grade column, you must enter a value in every grade cell.

  • This includes entering a zero (0) for any assignments that were unsubmitted.
  • Leaving grade cells ungraded (indicated by a dash) will result in an inaccurate final grade for students.
  • When assignments are left ungraded, the final grade displayed to students fails to account for the unsubmitted work, giving them a misleadingly high or incorrect view of their academic standing.

How to set default Value as Zero:

  1. Click on “Grades” to open the Gradebook
  2. Hover over each assignment column
  3. Click on the three dots 
  4. Click “Set Default Grade” and set it to 0

Important note: Do not check the “Overwrite already-entered grades” option
