The categories you are able to use are as follows. This is an extensive list meant to work for all departments across campus. If your standard(s) are not listed here, please reach out to a member of the Tech Team, and we will check and see if we're able to add it.

Grading category choices: Homework, Tests, Quizzes, Projects, Class Work, Essay, Presentation, Review, Oral Presentation, Lab Report, Diagnostic, Formative, Practice, Ungraded.

Depending on your course/department, the expectations for these settings might be different. Please consult with your department chair or course coordinator for more details about this.
