1. Go to the Grades tool and Click on Manage Grades:
2. First, you must make sure that the Final Grade column does not effect the total value of the points in your gradebook. Unfortunately when the Final Grade column was created it was done so with a value. So we must first reduce the value so that it doesn't influence your grades. We can't currently make the value zero, but we can lower the column value to .01 of one percent so that it has virtually no effect on the gradebook.
Scroll to the bottom of the page of the Gradebook
A weighted gradebook looks like this:
*Note that there are two rows with the title "Final Grade". The upper row is shaded gray, the lower row is white with no shading.
Both
rows will have a number as indicated by the red arrows. The upper number will need to be changed to a "0" and the lower number will have to be changed to "100".
