TLT Community Hubs

As of today, blog posts made on the Blogs at Penn State platform and tagged with tltsym should appear on the TLT Symposium account on Twitter.  That's assuming everything works out.  To do this, I am using a site called TwitterFeed that should repost anything in an RSS feed to a Twitter account.

For a long time, I have always believed that if a number of assignments are lumped under one category, and if there are more than one category in the gradebook, those assignments must bear equal number of max points or the calculation would not be correct. It seems that there are exceptions.
Exception 1: there is only one category called "course grade" and the gradebook is in "point" mode.
Exception 2: there are more than one category, and the gradebook can be of "point" or "percentage" mode, but the weight of each category are numbers in terms of points, such as "auto-calculate." That is the last line on the Category screen shows the total points of the course (such as 600) and 100%.
Any others?

If you use a field that contains a null in a mathematical expression, you might get unexpected results. For example, you have a field named cost, which contains the cost of an item.
