Final grade calculations in Canvas can be setup based on points or a weighted grading system. It is important to take note of which system you have in place in Canvas so that it matches the course syllabus and student expectations.
In Canvas, the grade book is dependent upon the settings in the Assignments area of the course. It is here that you can change the final grade calculation from a points based system to weighted. By default, the grade book will use a points based system.
