Canvas - Weighted Grades

In Canvas, you can weight the final course grade based on assignment groups. An Assignment Group is a tool on Canvas that collects a group of similar assignments such as homework, quizzes, essays, etc. From there, you can weight the assignment groups by their percentage of the overall grade.
