Rubrics/Marks with Total Points
This method takes an alpha character (listed on the rubric/marks) and converts the character to a pointequivalent. To determine the student's grade, Campus matches the score entered to the percent value storedfor that item in the rubric/assignment marks. The percent is then multiplied by the total points to get acalculated numeric score for the student for that assignment. Once these points are calculated the Total Pointsmethod is used to completes the grade calculation.
To use this grading method, use the following settings.

Assignments Validation
Assignments Validation verifies the status of assignments that have multiple section placements and/ormultiple alignments.
The most common reason to validate a section is the addition or removal of the teacher(s) scheduled to asection. If a section’s scheduled teacher has changed, the assignments must be validated. For example, if ateacher placed an assignment in two sections and was removed from one section, the Assignment Validationprocess splits the assignment and a unique assignment remains in each section.
If alignments under an assignment are no longer valid, they are split into separate assignments. If separateassignments within a section contain alignments which can be consolidated within one assignment, they willbe combined into one assignment. Assignments Validation also validates categories and activities.
