Weighted Grade Average
Instructors can weight items in the Gradebook. This means instructors can assign a percentage value to each graded item relative to other graded items. (Ex- two exams might account for 50% of your grade, while weekly chat discussions accounts for 10%)
If your instructor weights assignments relative to other assignments, your grade displays as a weighted percentage of the whole percentage possible.
Your Course Weighted Average takes into account course assignments and exams have different weights assigned to them.

Letter Grade versus Number Grade
Letter and number grades display according to the kind of grade your instructor enters. Some instructors prefer letter grades, some prefer number grades, and some prefer a combination of both.
