Create Calculated Grade Items (Milestone Grade)

You can use a calculated grade item to display a user’s cumulative achievement across multiple grade items. Unlike the calculated final grade, calculated grade items do not recognize grade category settings of the grade items they evaluate, such as exclusion or distribution options. They can belong to a category but they cannot contribute to the calculated final grade.

Note: You cannot associate calculated grade items with course objects such as discussions, quizzes, and assignments. Only numeric grade items can be associated.

To create calculated grade items

1. On your course navbar, Assessments>Grades.
2. On the Manage Grades tab, click New and select Item.
3. Choose Calculated
4. Under the Properties tab, name the item (in this example, I named it Midterm Grade)
5. Scroll down until you see your grade book; under the Calculation heading, click the radio button next to the items you want to include in the calculated grade item. 
6. Under Calculation Method, choose Milestone Grade 
7. Click Save and Close.

A calculated grade item is created and added to the list on the Manage Grades tab.
